Wind Cave National Park | The Spectacular Black Hills
Wind Cave National Park is the first cave to be designated a National Park, 1903 by Theodore Roosevelt. It is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota and is famous for its display of cave boxwork. Above ground, the park includes the largest remaining natural mixed-grass prairie in the US. My daughter and I visited this incredible site in August of 2017.

Wind Cave National Park
We didn't know about it before, but we're glad we stopped and toured Wind Cave National Park outside of Custer, South Dakota.
Wind Cave National Park
Wind Cave National Park is in the Black Hills of South Dakota, not far from Mount Rushmore. Within it lies one of the longest and most complex caves in North America. Topside, the park preserves rolling prairie and forested peaks with buffalo, antelope and prairie dogs.
Wildlife of Wind Cave National Park & Custer State Park, South Dakota
On our visit to Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, the elevator for the cave tours was out of service for maintenance. Without being able to explore underground, we hit the roads in search of the abundant wildlife that Wind Cave National Park has to offer. We saw prairie dog towns and were able to get up close to hear the sounds they use to communicate, we saw grazing pronghorn antelope and of course, our favorite, buffalo! Nearby, Custer State Park has a wildlife loop that you can drive where we were suddenly surrounded by a large herd of buffalo. To experience these majestic creatures in such large numbers and so close will be something we never forget!

Wind Cave National Park. Cave Tour.
The Black Hills of South Dakota are full of hidden gems and cool surprises. Wind Cave National Park and the near by Jewel Cave that are different than any caves that we had visited before. There are no Stalagmites and Stalactites in this dry cave. Instead we find what is called box work and frost.
There is some fun history with this cave too as it was originally found when a cowboys hat was blown off at the cave entrance. A whole in the ground. The wind in the cave changes from blowing out to sucking in depending on the atmospheric pressure.
This is one of the longest caves in the world and it is still being explored. It was dark in there so the footage is limited but hopefully you will get a good sense of what this national park has to offer. The prairie land above the cave is filled with local wildlife like buffalo and prairie dogs.

Wind Cave National Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota has a split personality. Above ground, a vast open prairie where the antelope play and the buffalo roam.
Below ground, a mysterious, dark world filled with geological wonders, is waiting to be discovered.
