Custer

Custer is a typical American mountain town nestled at the edge of Custer State Park in South Dakota. Set amid the splendid Black Mountains, this erstwhile mining town is now a natural playground for adventurers. Minutes from world-famous attractions such as Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial, it offers a mix of specialty lodging and shopping to complement the outdoor fun. Winding trails that traverse across Custer State Park are perfect for early morning and late afternoon wildlife spotting drives. Spectacular rock formations beckon hikers and climbers while scenic bodies of water such as Sylvan Lake are for boating and fishing. Helicopter rides and hot air balloons provide splendid aerial views while white water kayaking and jeep safaris assure an adrenaline rush. Jewel Cave National Monument with its sparkling calcite crystals and the network of underground caves at Wind Cave National Park are just a short drive away.
