Below gives you a good idea of the amount of rock blasted and carved out of this Black Hills mountaintop.

Mountain goats are not native to the Black Hills. The population can be traced back to six goats, a gift to Custer State Park by Canada in 1924, that escaped from their pens and found their home among the Black Hills granite peaks. There are now approximately 200 mountain goats in the area.
