DRIVING IRON MOUNTAIN ROAD South Dakota | Custer State Park | Black Hills National Forest

Iron Mountain Road in South Dakota is a 17-mile scenic drive in the Black Hills. On this challenging drive you will experience 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, 3 pigtails and 3 one lane tunnels. Iron Mountain Road winds its way through Custer State Park and the Black Hills National Forest, passing Mount Rushmore National Monument. We like to drive Iron Mountain Road from south to north, as you then have excellent views as you approach Mount Rushmore.
Iron Mountain Road was built in 1933 under the direction of Peter Norbeck. This magnificent road brings visitors through beautiful Black Hills scenery and through narrow tunnels that frame Mount Rushmore. At the top of the 5,445-foot summit, you can stop at the Peter Norbeck overlook where you have beautiful views of Mount Rushmore and the surrounding Black Hills.
Iron Mountain Road is part of U.S. Route 16A and is not maintained during the winter months. This road is narrow, and parts of the road are not recommended for RVs and large trailers. Drivers should be aware of the tunnel sizes in the park. The narrowest of the three tunnels is the Scovel Johnson Tunnel at 10 feet 9 inches wide by 11 feet high.
Custer State Park, South Dakota is a beautiful park and wildlife reserve of approximately 71,000 acres in the Black Hills. Custer State Park is known for its amazing landscapes, scenic drives, and a free roaming bison herd. The size of the bison herd varies slightly from year to year but averages approximately 1400 bison.

    The bison herd at Custer State Park truly is magnificent. Generally the bison are calm, but they sometimes can become upset with the cars or park visitors and can become very dangerous. So you always want to stay in your vehicle and keep plenty of distance if at all possible. Iron Mountain Road is a really beautiful drive in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It is one of our favorites!

    This video beautifully captures the exhilarating journey along Iron Mountain Road in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The scenic drive, with its 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, and captivating landscapes, provides a thrilling experience for viewers. The fact that it passes through Custer State Park and offers stunning views of Mount Rushmore adds to the allure. The historical context about the road's construction under Peter Norbeck in 1933 adds depth to the narrative. The cautionary note about tunnel sizes and road suitability for RVs is helpful for potential travelers. Overall, it's an engaging visual exploration of the natural beauty and engineering marvels of Iron Mountain Road. Thanks for sharing this captivating adventure! 🚗🏞

The 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, and tunnels carved into the Black Hills make this drive a picturesque masterpiece. Traveling from south to north allowed us to savor perfect views of Mount Rushmore. Built in 1933 by Peter Norbeck, the road is a testament to engineering brilliance. The three tunnels, including the Scovel Johnson Tunnel, frame Mount Rushmore majestically.

    I would have to take dramamine before embarking on the 314 curves and 14 switchbacks in 17 miles. But it definitely looks worth it. Such beautiful scenery as you drive along Iron Mountain Road. You had gorgeous views of the mountains - and eventually of Mount Rushmore. Thanks for sharing the drive with us!

Loved the story of the "Close Encounter of the Buffalo Kind!" Loved the switchbacks and views of Mt. Rushmore. Custer State Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the US. Love it and you and your husbands drive!

    Thanks! This is such a beautiful drive. We have to drive it whenever we are visiting the Black Hills. Yes the buffalo encounter a few years ago was very scary. It was very dark and we came around a curve and there was a huge male buffalo right in our path. I slammed on the brakes and came within about 3 feet of hitting him. It is such a beautiful park.

    I certainly wouldn't be making eye contact or edging the car towards any of the Buffalo? Bison? (You said both). They certainly have the right of way. I am always amazed at the stupidity of some tourists who think, even presented with previous evidence, that they are tame. I don't think I'd be there on a motorbike or trike like they were. The views of Mount Rushmore were amazing. I like that they have it so you get a different view after each tunnel. That tight turn back under the road was beautiful. There must be a weight limit I would think. 76f, that would be wonderful just about now. I loved the video. Thanks for sharing Anita.

    Technically they are bison. But here in the states we tend to us the words bison or buffalo interchangeably. The herd here is always beautiful to watch and yes I cringe every time I see someone get out of their car for a closer picture. They are wild animals and can run very fast and they need to be respected. When we had gone out for an evening walk, we came across a huge male by himself in the meadow, right near the path. We walked WAY around him and didn't disturb him. Yes I agree that 76F would be lovely right now! It is -4F here at the moment. Take care!

    This is so nice to experience but dangerous at the same time and “yield” is the most important to pass this place. The road is very curvy but so peaceful to drive while watching the beautiful scenery. I think the buffalo is the one who got scared more and one of the reasons why they became very protective around them. Peter Norbec has a spectacular view especially watching the mountains. I LOVE the way you laugh after you bite your apple :) It would be to hard to drive if there is another vehicle in the opposite side. Thank you so much for bringing us with you, really appreciate it ❤
