No Drones at Mt. Rushmore

June 14th, 2015

Citing 36 CFR 1.5 (“Closures and public use limits”), the National Park Service has banned all drones in Mt. Rushmore National Memorial. The drones were banned in June 2014 due to “serious concerns about the negative impact that flying unmanned aircraft is having in parks.” Apparently in 2013 a drone landed on Lincoln’s head.

But what if the sign said “No Vehicles in the Park.” Would a drone be a vehicle?
