Description

Added by Isaac Parsons

Crystal clear water, lush vegetation, and the soothing sounds of waterfalls!

Cascade Falls is 10 miles south of Hot Springs on highway 71, it is easy to access, and is a great spot for a picnic or to cool off in the cool waters on hot days! There are several picnic tables, vault toilets and a large parking area, and just a short walk down to the falls. The pool at the base of the falls is beautiful blue water and has several other sections of the creek that pool up too.

There is no fee to use the area, just a few rules like no alcohol and beware of rattlesnakes.

Make sure to clean up after yourselves and practice Leave No Trace principles.

In summer, the lush grasses attract the park's free-roaming bison herd as well as elk, pronghorn antelope, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets. One of the best spots for capturing sunset over the prairie is from Gobbler Pass, on the SE side of the park. You can park at the pass and walk along the...

Wind Cave

Established in 1903, Wind Cave National Park is home to over 140 miles of mapped cave passages.

A guided tour is the only way to see the cave system unless you are in the park's limited volunteer cave exploring group. Depending on the time of...

Camp at Elk Mountain Campground in Wind Cave National Park

Elk Mountain Campground is in a secluded area of the park, providing plenty of peace and quiet.

There are about 64 sites available in the campground. Sites are available both in the open prairie or in the hills along the treeline. Each site is equ...
