SEP 29 -
10TH ANNUAL FALL VOLKSMARCH
Sun 7:00 AM - Sun 4:00 PM
Crazy Horse Memorial

CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL FOUNDATION AND BHVA WILL HOST THE FALL VOLKSMARCH IN OCTOBER. THE AUTUMN HIKE WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 AND WILL BE HELD THE SAME WEEKEND AS THE CUSTER STATE PARK BUFFALO ROUND-UP.

The Crazy Horse Volksmarch is the most popular organized hike in the United States (15,000 walkers in a record year). This family event is sponsored by the Black Hills Chapter of the American Volkssport Association (AVA) and hosted by Crazy Horse Memorial®.

Hikers follow dirt trails and gravel work roads up to the Crazy Horse Mountain Carving. The turn-around point is on the Arm of Crazy Horse directly in front of the nine-story-high face, which was completed June 3, 1998. Hikers get an up-close view of the mountain. Work continues on the rest of what will be the largest sculpture in the world.

The Laughing Water Restaurant at Crazy Horse opens for breakfast at 6 a.m. during the Volksmarch, and serves lunch and dinner. The snack shop also is open. Coffee is always free at Crazy Horse Memorial®

The bi-annual Crazy Horse Volksmarch (an organized hike) is a 10K or 6.2-mile woodlands ramble to the world’s largest mountain carving in progress in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota
