A fifth granite face is emerging in the Black Hills. The colossal Crazy Horse mountain carving, now in progress, can be seen just 17 miles from Mount Rushmore. Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski started the work on the mountain in 1948 as a tribute to Native Americans. His family continues to carve Crazy Horse. When complete, it will be the world'd largest mountain carving, standing 563 feet high and 641 feet long.
