Mount Rushmore

A view from the ground shows Mount Rushmore in the granite rock of South Dakota's Black Hills against a deep blue sky. The sculpture, featuring 60-foot (18-meter) carvings of the heads of former U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, took 14 years to complete and draws more than two million tourists every year.
