I was there in 74 when I was in high school. It was a beautiful place. Horse back riding, and we toured a mine. We didn't go see Crazy Horse then. Just Mtn. Rushmore. 👍

I saw recent footage from a drone, the hand and fingernails are shaping along nicely. This is a slow process, listening to the tour guide when I visited the monument the Lakota Indian Tribe are determine to make this into a reality.

Yes, that is the same information and what some of the Lakota told me when I was there. It’s a very interesting and worthwhile undertaking. The cost of those helicopter rides should speed up the process.

I had just watched and commented on another video about the Crazy Horse Monument before finding this one. This video has more recent footage of the monument. Unfortunately, work on the monument doesn't appear to have progressed much since I had visited in 1997. I was still a kid, but from what I remember, Crazy Horse's face was nearing completion. Since then, it appears little work has been completed on his arm. I wish I were in a position to make a substantial financial contribution to help see the work be completed in my lifetime. I do admire the Crazy Horse Foundation's perseverance, though. I understand the project began way back in the 1940s. They'll be coming up on the 100th anniversary soon enough.

Hi, thanks for stopping in and checking out the video. I was there about a year and a half ago and was the only one on the bus to get a closer look.The helicopters weren’t flying up to the head and I assumed the reason was either off season or Covid. The gentleman who drove the bus mentioned that he was Lakota and seemed to think that the monument would never be finished, at least not in his lifetime. Not sure how much of the public is aware of this monument. It is a pity because it is such an awe inspiring sight to see and the pictures do not come close to the actual. You may have noticed that the indoor model depicts an entire complex planned around the sculpture. ? on that. The finished sculpture would be the 8th wonder of the world but 75 years and that is the progress so far. Mark

I've been there several times, latest in september 2018. I walked the Volksmarch and stood on the arm of the monument. There is a huge different to see!! In 2018 they were just started with the pointing finger and now the hand is almost completed. Yes, it goes slowly and yes it takes a lot of time, so what? Great things take time.

Lived in Rapid City 23 years ago. Used to go on the volks march up on crazy horse next to the face every year. Doesn't look any different today. I think it is just becoming a tourist destination. Don't see how they will ever get the funds to complete it.

Yes, I was the only one on that tour bus other than the driver who was Lakota. He did not seem very hopeful that the monument would ever be finished.
