Fall Annual Fall Volksmarch, Crazy Horse Memorial

The Memorial partners with KOTA Territory’s Care and Share Food Drive so that each hiker’s individual admission to the Memorial is waived with a donation of 3 canned foods (Volkssport registration still applies – see below for more Cost/Registration information). 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 5K or 10K (6.2 miles round trip) woodlands ramble to the world’s largest mountain carving in progress in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota. The Spring Volksmarch in 2026 will only be the first Saturday of June. For more information go to – https://crazyhorsememorial.org/event/volksmarch
