Get ready for one of the most incredible drives in the Black Hills. This 18-mile loop through Custer State Park is your front-row seat to the wild heart of South Dakota. You'll wind through rolling grasslands and pine-dotted hills, but the real stars are the animals. Expect to get held up in a 'bison jam' as the park's massive herd of 1,300 often decides to cross the road right in front of you. Keep an eye out for pronghorn, deer, and the famous 'begging burros' who are known to greet visitors. For the best chances of seeing active wildlife, plan your drive for the early morning or just before sunset.
