Until the Indians first laid eyes on these majestic peaks, no one had seen the Black Hills. Beneath the towering granite spires lay undiscovered treasures of clear streams, deep forests, and boundless wildlife. To the Indians, this is where the Great Spirit lived and still lives to this day. When one sees the natural wonders that surround Custer, they’ll understand why the Indians were so enchanted. In
1874, General George Custer led the 7th Cavalry on a scientific expedition
into the Black Hills. His mission was to confirm the growing speculations
of gold. After traveling across the rolling Dakota prairie, Custer
and his men were welcomed by the splendor of these mystical mountains.
From their camp near the present day city of Custer, they found wealth
beyond gold : the enduring beauty of the Black Hills. The best time to see wildlife is early morning or late evening along the 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road. Wildlife species include bison, elk, deer, pronghorn, big horn sheep, mountain goats, prairie dogs, and more.
