Historic Sights That Are Nothing But Hype

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

The family and I drove all the way from the Alabama coast to Mt. Rushmore, only to encounter zero visibility due to heavy fog. I could barely see my relatives in front of my face. It was incredibly underwhelming. You see all the great close-up pictures on the internet, but the reality is that you’re standing way back, way below it. And it looks pretty small.

Every picture you see makes it look larger than life, but in reality, it only takes up a small portion of the mountain. Not to mention the park to see it is super far away, so you need binoculars to see it well.
