Scenic Custer State Park

There is so much to see and do in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In this travellog we are going to visit Scenic Custer State Park on the south side of the Balck Hills of South Dakota.

We are camped near Custer State Park and the town of Custer in the southern part of the Black Hills at Custer's Gulch RV-Park. It is an OK commercial campground just like dozens of others in this area.

Custer State Park

There are many beautiful valleys such as this in Custer State Park along the famous "wildlife-loop". Buffalo are often in the far distance as three lone bulls are in this picture.

Where the buffalo roam Custer State Park

Rolling hills and green pastures are where buffalo will be found. They roam throughout Custer State Park and one never knows where you might find them. Many times we were on the main road and sometimes we drove the gravel roads. There is one thing for sure, our car didn't stay clean driving those gravels roads, but it is worth it to get off the beaten path.

Those specs on the horizon are buffalo.

Where the buffalo aren't roaming in Custer State Park

Blue skies and fields of green grasses. Buffalo should be eating this grass but they have obviously found greener pastures elsewhere.
