We've been to Wind Cave National Park before and didn't need to go on another cave tour. Refreshed in our minds how big this cave system is > 121 miles and > 500 feet deep. Keep in mind that the cave has not been fully discovered. This map shows how many side chambers there are. Only some are fully explored. One of the important items on the map are heights of the areas – many are only 2' high! Crawling time.

We came to watch the wildlife and what we had remembered from before was the number of buffalo in the park and we saw bunches.

The way these guys were trotting at us, we wondered for a second if we were going to be bumped
but, no, they were off to the side |
We camped for three days in the park's one campground. The campground was fenced to keep the buffalo out. Smart move. The campsites were nicely mowed and we enjoyed watching birds and the morning deer feeding.
We had forgot about the prairie dogs but enjoyed their antics. Constant motion.
