Custer State Park Custer SD – September 2021 Custer State Park is a beautiful drive. Lots of scenic vistas, and most famously – a lot of easy-to-see wildlife! Sunset on the Black Hills Buffalo in the distance. They are on the road a lot, but not for us on this trip. White-tail deer Wild donkeys Mule deer Herd of elk in the distance. More elk. They were off in the distance a bit, but this was a very popular spot for the tourists. The road was jammed with people getting a glimpse of the elk. It was pretty cool.
