Road Trip March - Day 19
Custer National Park is a must, especially if you want to see Bison up close and personal, but safely of course!. The park itself has a varied terrain from vast rolling pastures used for livestock to rocky outcrops with plenty of trees, besides the bison there are prairie dogs and a donkey sancturary. It really is an amazing place
