Event comments
This year Crazy Horse Memorial has confirmed that they are waiving the regular admission fee for the day if each participant brings 3 cans of food to donate to the Care and Share Food Drive (part of the Feeding South Dakota Initiative) for the Spring event. Please leave cans at the entrance gate to Crazy Horse Memorial. Follow the signs and directions of Crazy Horse staff to park where they direct you. The Spring walk offers an opportunity to enjoy beautiful flowers. Also you are encouraged to bring your AVA/IVV event and distance books (we will have some at the finish tent in case you forget) good hiking shoes, walking sticks, sunscreen, and water. In the event of lightning, the trail will be cleared of all walkers by Crazy Horse staff. We are sorry but do to expenses, no refunds will be available, and if the staff re-opens the mountain later you will resume your walk at the starting gate. The best bet for completing the walk in inclement weather is to start early as lightning storms occur more frequently was the temperatures warm. The registration table opens at 7 am, but walkers do not start walking until all groups working this event are in place and ready (which is no later than 8 am).
