Mount Rushmore National Memorial has banned smoking throughout the park.

Visitors who wish to smoke will have to do it in an enclosed vehicle.

Superintendent Cheryl Schreier made the announcement Friday in an effort to promote a safe visiting and working environment under current dry conditions.

"We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we weigh on the side of caution in the prudent and responsible actions that are being taken to place safety first for our visitors and staff," Schreier said.

According to a news release, the dry conditions and restrictions do not impact any of the visitor services, activities or access to any of our current visitor areas.
