Keystone began as a small mining community in pursuit of gold on the slopes of South Dakota’s Black Hills. It also became the home of many workers and laborers during the construction of Mount Rushmore. Today, the town is known as a destination for outdoor adventures and woodland resorts. Visitors can sign up for tours of various sites such as Mount Rushmore and the Big Thunder Gold Mine. There’s also the family-friendly Rush Mountain Adventure Park, with rides such as Soaring Eagle Zipride and the Rushmore Mountain Coaster.
