Keystone
The busy gateway to Mount Rushmore
Keystone is a gateway town for Mount Rushmore and the other end of the 1880 Train line. The town's tourism office counts more than 20 attractions, from zip lines and helicopter tours to shops and arcades, so it works well as a lunch stop before the memorial. Drive time and distance are routing estimates from OSRM; allow extra for season, traffic and road work.
