It is park service land so naturally any club would need a permit. Greenpeace has violated this by trying to hang a banner, that momentarily became a paraglider.
There is a staircase that leads to the top. Imagine hiking a glider up from Blacks Beach at Torrey.
I found a few internet references that it would be cool to give hang glider lessons over Mt Rushmore, and the guy that played superman in Smallville was seen hang gliding over Mt Rushmore.
You can see the stairway on the bottom of the pic.
