Quiet and open

Lots of space. Quiet with no traffic. Google gets you close but not exactly there. Gps route was a little off. Just an hour from Rushmore.

Unsure if accessible

A fence closed off road so we didn’t try it. After you start in the road changes to a two track with grass between them. We didn’t want to risk getting stuck in the bus.
