Every year Custer State Park holds its Buffalo Roundup, during which the cowboys and cowgirls of the park gather all the park’s bison together for branding, sorting, and vaccinating. Here is a short video with 2008 Roundup highlights!
Quite a herd, isn’t it?
Custer State Park is quite a fascinating place. According to Wikipedia,
Custer State Park is a state park and wildlife reserve in the Black Hills of southwestern South Dakota, USA. The park covers an area of over 71,000 acres of hilly terrain and is home to a famous herd of 1,500 free roaming bison. Elk, mule deer, white tailed deer, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, mountain lions, and feral burros also inhabit the park.
Also, according to the official park website,
The park boasts scenic drives such as the Needles Highway (SD 87), which twists and turns its way past towering rock formations and through narrow tunnels. At the end of one tunnel stands the Needles Eye, a granite spire with a slit only 3 to 4 feet wide but reaching 30 to 40 feet in the air.
Custer State Park is just one of the many amazing things you’ll enjoy on this escorted vacation! Why not give it a try? We welcome reservations from Indianapolis, where we are based, or from any location in the United States or Canada.
