Custer Sate Park, SD

Yes, we are still in South Dakota. It is a place to slow down and enjoy fully. In my opinion Custer State Park should be a National Park, it is so big and beautiful and full of streams and waterfalls and animals! Our hikes have been so fun and we have collected so many rocks. On our first night Eric caught a fish and Silas and Samuel lit the fire and tended it so we could cook the fish! We all got a taste and went to bed happy. Our first full day here we did a nice 2 mile hike up and down the mountain and by the lake. The views were spectacular, then we had lunch and left to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. The rain and the fog prevented us from seeing the latter. The next day we did a six mile hike and crossed 16 streams and met up with a little kindergarten class and a God sent men crossing the children over the water! He helped me cross Summer Joy and came back to hold my hand through the slippery rocks! After lunch we did the Wild Life Loop and saw the bison!Läs mer
