Keystone, SD

Keystone started life in 1883 as a mining town, and was named after a local mine. Keystone has turned itself into a resort town, serving the thousands of visitors to Mount Rushmore Memorial, which is located just outside of town. The historic part of Keystone is located on Winter Street which turns into Iron Mountain Road outside of town which also happens to be US Hwy 16A.

Dahl Chainsaw Art

I can't resist chainsaw art, especially when it's this good. The artist is Jarrett Dahl and his outdoor gallery is located between Iron Mountain Road and Roy Street in Keystone. His brother Jordan is also a chainsaw artist located in Deadwood.
