Custer is in the heart of the Black Hills. On this commune, you will find a few kilometers to the north - by taking the Crazy Horse Memorial Highway - "The Thunderhead Mountain" where the monument to the memory of Crazy Horse is located.

In response to the gigantic statues of the 4 faces of the American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore, an Austrian-born sculptor wanted to pay tribute to the famous Lakota warrior Tashunka Witko - Crazy Horse.

He sculpts an entire mountain trying to represent the historical figure riding his horse. It has been more than 30 years that only the head has been carved. Suffice to say that this work will certainly never be finished. The site, by its gigantism is impressive. It is an incongruous visit to make.
