• Iron Mountain Road - This section of 16A is known as Iron Mountain Road, which, along with the Needles Highway, captures the essence of Custer State Park.

• Doane Robinson Tunnel - Next is the second Pigtail Bridge, immediately followed by the first tunnel.

• Iron Mountain Picnic Area - Relish this final stretch of single-lane roller coaster driving. As you wind through the forest, you’ll soon crest the ridge and leave the Mount Rushmore area.

• Norbeck Overlook - The highest point of Iron Mountain Road at 5400 ft. There’s a large parking lot here, and it’s recommended to take a moment to walk to the overlook.

• Scovel Johnson Tunnel - The last tunnel on Iron Mountain Road is the Scovel Johnson Tunnel, named after the chief engineer and surveyor of the Black Hills Scenic drives.

• Custer State Park - You are now driving through the heart of the Galena Fire from 1988, one of the largest wildfires in Custer State Park history.

• Jewel Cave National Monument - “Jewel Cave,” the third-largest cave system in the world, is likely already on your radar if you’re intrigued by the subterranean world.

• The Gordon Stockade - In 1874, Lieutenant Colonel George Custer forever altered the fate of the Black Hills. At that time, the Black Hills belonged to the Sioux, as stated in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie.

• Needles Highway - If you wish to visit cowboy poet Badger Clark’s home, it will be on the left. Look for a sign that says Badger’s Hole.

• Black Hills Playhouse - You’ll soon see a turnoff for the Black Hills Playhouse, possibly one of the most obscure locations for drama in the world! Plays are staged between June and mid-August, a tradition ongoing since 1946.

• Sylvan Lake - Shortly, you’ll arrive at Sylvan Lake, marking the state park boundary. There are two particularly noteworthy places of interest here.

• Sylvan Lake Lodge - You’ll soon pass the historic Sylvan Lake Lodge on the right, though visibility is limited through the trees.

• Crazy Horse Memorial - In just a few minutes, you’ll need to decide whether to take the detour to the Crazy Horse Memorial or continue following the tour loop around the Black Hills. Crazy Horse is just a ten-minute drive from the junction.

• Hill City - The next few blocks are the town, and most things are quite self-explanatory.
