The 30th annual Crazy Horse Volksmarch was held June 6-7. Nearly 8,000 hikers ascended the 10k loop to stand on Crazy Horse's outstretched arm and get a close-up of the Lakota warrior's 87-foot face. An autumn volksmarch is planned for Sept. 27. Photos by John Mitchell.

The carving, started in 1948 by Korczak Ziolkowski, honors Lakota leader Crazy Horse. -
Ziolkowski envisioned the Crazy Horse carving as a living symbol. -
The public is only allowed on the 263-foot-long arm of the carving during the June and September volksmarches. -
The beginning trails are dirt or gravel work roads. The ascent to the peak begins on logging trails. -
Crazy Horse's birth name was Cha-O-Ha, meaning "In the Wilderness," or "Among the Trees."
