Presentazione generale
Wind Cave and Jewel Cave
Underground networks, grasslands and wildlife of the southern Black Hills.
The discovery of Wind Cave and Jewel Cave is centred around Wind Cave, Jewel Cave and Rankin Ridge. The stay thus alternates between natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and panorama
Wind Cave
Wind Cave It is distinguished by its boxwork formations, thin calcite partitions that cover the ceilings and underground walls. On the surface, the park also protects a meadow inhabited by buffalo and prairie dogs, offering a double visit: mineral cave below, landscape of the Black Hills above.
Nature and panorama
Jewel Cave
Jewel Cave owes its name to calcite crystals that sparkle on part of its walls, but its singularity also stems from the immense network of cartographic galleries. Guided tours reveal a cave ventilated by pressure variations, with passages, concretions and deep silence under the Black Hills.
Nature and panorama
Rankin Ridge
Rankin Ridge offers one of the best views of Wind Cave National Park, above the meadows and forests of the Black Hills. The trail climbs to an old watchtower; in clear weather, the horizon opens wide, which completes a well underground visit of the cave.
Nature and panorama
Elk Mountain Campground
Elk Mountain Campground serves as a simple basis for sleeping in Wind Cave National Park, between meadows, sparse pines and clear night sky. Interest is due to the location: on waking up, park roads, prairie dogs, bison and cave visits are already nearby.
