Other things to see in the area.. Mt Rushmore. Needles Highway Driving through rock tunnels and winding past rock spires, the Needles Highway was labeled impossible when it was constructed in 1919. That didn't deter Governor Norbeck, who supplied the more than 150,000 pounds of dynamit and the determination to construct the roadway. The Needles Highway curves and winds through 14 miles of magnificent rock formations called 'needles.' One of the most prominent rock formations on the Highway is the Needles Eye, reaching 30 to 40 feet in the air with a 3 foot wide slit. More Pics, (I love this road) Spearfish Canyon Motor Trend did a drive through here, they said it was one of their top 20 drives. Spearfish Canyon runs approx. 35 miles from O'Neil Pass, elev. approx 6800 ft., near the South Dakota / Wyoming border to the town of Spearfish, elev approx 3500 ft.
