The Crazyhorse Memorial will be taller than the Washington Monument. The four faces of Mount Rushmore could fit on the head of Crazyhorse when it is done. The statue is absolutely enormous. It was the vision of a single man that brought the mountain carving as far as it has. To get the real perspective, I recommend you get the movie about the man and dreams behind the carving:
In one of these pictures, a model stands outside the visitor center at the foot of the mountain (with the real one in the background). It has taken over 50 years to get as far as it has. Although the progress is accelerating, it is still a long way from completion. I heard the phrase "your children's children will see it completed". Now that is commitment!
