I came across this tonight. As we're still pretty impressed with National Parks (less Mt Rushmore) I thought this might be of interest.
I was surprised to find a link at the end of the 8 (or 10) web pages that you can actually download a pdf of the article exactly as it appeared in the issue. Pretty cool!

Two thumbs up for National Geographic Traveler!!
Oh, and I was also impressed that their brief views of Mt Rushmore pretty much matched mine -- I was so annoyed over the carnival atmosphere though that my patriotic blood only boiled...
