Travel through 18 miles of open grasslands and pine-speckled hills that much of Custer State Park's wildlife calls home. Keep eyes peeled for bison, pronghorn, whitetail and mule deer, elk, coyotes, burros, prairie dogs, eagles, hawks, and a variety of birds that are rarely found together in one location. A medley of colorful wildflowers and prairie grasses surround the road, making for a picturesque drive; and the landscape changes throughout your trip, keeping you on your toes.
Along the way to Blue Bell Lodge, stop at Mount Coolidge Lookout Tower for a taste of history and an impressive view.
Wind Cave is the sixth-longest cave and the first cave in the world to be designated as a National Park.
