Going to Wind Cave National Park

What to do in Wind Cave National Park

Don't be deceived by the park's name. Oh sure, there's plenty of wind at Wind Cave, but there's also more to see and do than visit the world-class, namesake cave. Above ground you'll find rolling prairie, interesting rock formations, and beautiful pine forests open to exploration. The park is also home to native wildlife such as bison, elk, pronghorn, mule deer, coyotes, and prairie dogs.

Wind Cave is just one of the natural, historic, and scenic attractions in the western South Dakota vicinity. Near at hand are Black Hills National Forest, Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Jewel Cave National Monument, Custer State Park, and all of the outdoor recreational opportunities they provide.
