Sights of Iron Mountain Road
U.S. Route 16A also known as "Iron Mountain Road" is a scenic United States highway, which divides from U.S. Route 16 in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The route passes through Keystone, South Dakota; Norbeck Wildlife Refuge; Mount Rushmore National Memorial; and Custer State Park including State Game Lodge and Legion Lake.
Iron Mountain Road is famous for its scenic, one-lane tunnels aligned to frame the faces on Mount Rushmore, its "pigtail bridges", and its sections of divided highway but with single (and narrow) lanes on each roadway. It is the only route which can be used to drive through Custer State Park without having to pay an entrance fee for the park, provided the traveler does not stop in the Park.
The route includes most of the tunnels on the South Dakota state highway system, including the only four-lane tunnel in the state, just north of Keystone. Part of the highway is also a boundary of the Black Elk Wilderness. The Iron Mountain portion of the road is not maintained in the winter.
Known for its “pigtail” bridges, Iron Mountain Road redefined what a road could be. Climbing 17 miles from Keystone to the entrance of Mount Rushmore, you’ll wind over stacked loops of wooden bridges and through one-lane tunnels that perfectly frame Mount Rushmore.
Iron mountain road is a challenge for the most experienced driver as well as the most seasoned biker. Many a tourist and biker alike have traveled Iron Mountain road. Most have survived, a few have not! This road is not for the faint of heart. Iron Mountain road offers many challenges as well as scenic and wild life beauty.
