Custer State Park

After the buffalo round up we drove through the state park enjoying the many views that the landscape had to offer.  The park boasts a beautiful campground, many picnic areas and a lake.  The area surrounding the park is made up of many large quartz mountains and spires going several hundred feet in the air.  These spires afford many areas for mountain climbers to practice their skills.

The road through the park had many sharp twists, turns hills and two tunnels.

One road in the park was named Needles highway.  We found out why when we came to the Needles tunnel.

Needles Eye Tunnel

On the other side of the tunnel we had a traffic jam caused by some of the local inhabitants.

We enjoyed watching the goats feed on the side of the mountain.  It was more fun watching the people watch the goats!

We ended our park tour looking at the lake prior to heading back to the motorhome for dinner and much needed rest.
