At the right places and times, Badlands National Park reveals Bison, Prairie Dogs, Big Horn Sheep, and great selfies! We'll stop to look at each and take in the scenery at the park. Sometimes, you might have to be silent and take your time, but it's worth the wait. Bison breathe out warm clouds, coyotes howl, and birds soar overhead.

Ghost Town of Scenic After A Winter Snow

How can you not celebrate the beauty of the park in winter? I'm not sure, but our guests do love it, despite the cold. Ghost towns covered in snow, overlooks with no visitors to be seen, and great wildlife spotting.
Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park is awe-inspiring. We'll stop here to see how beautiful the still-frozen lake is, with the rocks jutting out of the water. Ice fishermen often set up directly in the middle of the lake. Then, a trail winds its way around to see the features from all angles. This is a favorite of all guests. Winter tours in the Black Hills are awesome.
