CC Gideon Tunnel — photo spot in US-16 Scenic, Keystone, SD 57751, USA
CC Gideon Tunnel
A small rock-cut tunnel on the US‑16 Scenic byway near Keystone — great for framing, leading lines and contrast between granite walls and sky. Shoot approaches, inside-to-outside silhouettes, and car light trails after dusk. Accessible from highway pullouts; short walk from parking. Best at golden hour for warm textures or blue hour for light trails. No permit required; watch traffic and wildlife. Close to Mount Rushmore and other Black Hills stops, so combine into a half‑day route.
