Trip was fantastic. Tour director was knowledgeable and even threw in a couple nice surprise stops. Hotel room in Sheraton was less than desirable however, other hotel and lodging facilities were very nice, especially Jackson Lodge and Mt Rushmore Hotel. Just wish there would have been more meals included.
