Crazy Horse Memorial 2024

Crazy Horse, South Dakota

October 2024

The Crazy Horse Memorial is the largest active mountain carving project in the world. It was started in 1948 by Chief Henry Standing Bear of the Oglala Lakota tribe as a memorial to all North America Indians. The sculpture will eventually show the full torso of Lakota leader Crazy Horse and the head, main, and front portion of his horse. When finished, it will be 560’ long and 460’ high. Crazy Horse’s head is 87 feet tall and the fingers in the hand are over 8 feet in diameter. The project is privately funded and there is no projected completion date.

I went to Sprague Lake early to watch sunrise over the lake. Then I realized that the other people there had stopped watching the sunrise and haD spotted a young Moose. He ate and played around the edges of the lake for almost an hour. One of the highlights of a great trip to Rocky Mountain National Park!

Rocky Mountain NP 2024 - Horseshoe Park

Sheep Lakes is typically the best place to see Bighorn Sheep in Rocky Mountain National Park, with groups of sheep coming down off the mountain to get minerals from licking or eating the mud around the lakes. On my visit, only a few sheep came down all week long and I only saw one young ewe. However, it turned out to be a great place to see Moose coming to eat in the lakes. I saw Moose here four different times!
