I forgot they changed the Name of it to honor “Black Elk”.
Thunder Mountain is pretty near the Badlands NP. That’s where they’re doing all the cutting and blasting, turning it into a statue of Crazy Horse. From what I’ve read, there are no known photos of Crazy Horse, nobody is sure what he looked like.
And I don’t believe the Lakota are that impressed by a statue of anybody. I think most of them would rather keep Thunder Mountain as The Great Spirit’s original design!
Anyway, if you ain’t never been up to that tower…
BlackElk Peak
I don’t think these pictures do it justice!
