CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL, S.D. (AP) — Crazy Horse Memorial is commemorating the 67th anniversary of the dedication of the monument with various activities in June.

Wednesday marks the 67th anniversary of the dedication of the Crazy Horse Memorial and the first mountain blast. In celebration, a blast has been scheduled for that day at 11:33 a.m.

A hike to the top of the mountain will take place June 6 and 7. The 30th annual Crazy Horse Volksmarch will offer visitors the rare chance to get as close as possible to the carving.

The 6.2-mile hike takes 2-4 hours to complete, and participants are encouraged to pace themselves due to terrain and peak elevation of nearly 6,500 feet above sea level.

The memorial is a mountain carving in progress that will honor Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse.
