Woman's Family Trip to Mount Rushmore Takes Illegal Turn
- 5 years ago
A Nebraska woman has been arrested on Friday after scaling Mount Rushmore nearly to the top.
Alexandria Incontro of Omaha bypassed orange warning signs and hopped a railing, says Newser.
She then began scaling the granite mountain between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson's faces.
She made it to within 15 feet of the top as a park ranger called for her to come down.
Incontro climbed the monument barefoot, without a rope, and illegally.
