Crazy Horse Volksmarch
The Crazy Horse Volksmarch is a one of a kind organized hike. The event has taken place on a Saturday and Sunday in June for the past 20 years. It is a unique hike as it is the only time each year that the public has the opportunity to see up close the mountain carving of Crazy Horse while in progress. The sculpture of Crazy Horse began in 1948 when the first blast took place on the mountain. This is the only time that the public can witness in such close proximity the nine story tall face of the Native American Chief.
It looks like you may have missed it this time around.
