Attraction

Wildlife Loop Road

Wildlife Loop Road, Custer, SD

Take an hour or two to drive the eighteen miles of this winding prairie road, where you’ll almost always get to catch a glimpse of free-roaming buffalo, and sometimes see other animals like burros, elk, mule deer, big horn sheep, prairie dogs, and more. Early morning and late afternoon (just before sunset) are the best times to make the trip. Bring along some apples or carrots to feed the burros, but use caution–they are wild animals, after all! Don’t attempt to feed any other animals, and be prepared to get stuck in a buffalo traffic jam.
