Luoghi da sogno: la nostra "top 20" (posizione 10)

POSITION 10 - MOUNT RUSHMORE

Chissà quante volte vi sarà capitato di vedere associato agli Stati Uniti i famosi "faccioni" e vi sarete chiesti... "ma dove si trovano"? Esistono, ve lo assicuriamo, ma parliamo di una zona impervia da raggiungere, persino dagli americani stessi. Non ci sono grandi città, non ci sono grandissime infrastrutture o aereoporti internazionali nei dintorni, ma lungo le "black hills", esattamente nella cittadina di Keystone, nel South Dakota (centro nord degli Stati Uniti) c'è una splendida montagna, teatro di questa scultura che risale ai primi del 900' (dal 1927 al 1941). Vi sono raffigurati quatto presidenti americani, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt e Lincoln e più di 2 milioni di visitatori ogni anno accorrono per ammirarli, nonostante non sia un luogo facilissimo da raggiungere. Percorrendo la Iron Mountain, dopo un piccolo tunnel, il Mount Rushmore comparirà davanti a voi... e li capirete che "this is the place"



STATE: SOUTH DAKOTA - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA




CITY: KEYSTONE




Who knows how many times have you seen the famous connection between Mount Rushmore and the United States. Maybe you were wondering ... "where is this sculpture"? We are talking about an area not so easy to reach, even by the Americans. There are no large cities, there are no great infrastructure and international airports around it, but along the "black hills", exactly in the town of Keystone, South Dakota (center north of the United States) there is a beautiful mountain, home of this sculpture, built from 1927 and 1941. There are four former US presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln, and more than 2 million visitors every year come to admire them, although it is not a place easy to reach. Along the Iron Mountain, after a small tunnel, Mount Rushmore will appear in front of you: in that moment you realize that "this is the place".
