In this One Day in Wind Cave National Park Guide:
Why Visit Wind Cave National Park?
As one of the smallest National Parks, Wind Cave still manages to pack a big punch. Wind Cave is one of the oldest and most complex caves in the world, with over 149 miles of passageways and maze-like tunnels and more being discovered each year.
So, what’s so special about Wind Cave?
Wind Cave is particularly known for one unique feature called boxwork, remnants of geological processes that occurred millions of years ago when a shallow sea covered the area and subsequent build up and dissolution of different minerals exposed these web-like structures. This cave has striking examples of this type of formation and has more boxwork in it than all other caves put together! One of the best things to do at Wind Cave National Park is take a tour of the Wind Cave, where you’ll get to learn all about this boxwork and see tons of examples of what it looks like.
The boxwork pattern found throughout Wind Cave
In contrast to many other well-known caves, common formations known as stalactites and stalagmites are actually rarely seen in Wind Cave. Instead, boxwork is the star of the show here!
Why is it called Wind Cave?
The cave’s name is quite literal…it’s named from the barometric wind at its natural entrance. Based on whether the pressure inside the cave is lower or higher than the pressure outside, a pretty strong wind will be blowing either into or out of the cave’s natural entrance. This direction can change throughout the day depending on the weather patterns outside.
Is visiting Wind Cave National Park worth it?
We think so! Getting to tour such a unique cave is definitely worth your time. Plus, above ground is one of the best places in the area for viewing wildlife, including the fan favorite- bison- and tons of cute prairie dogs. With just one day in Wind Cave National Park, you can see pretty much all of the highlights!
Plus, you probably won’t be in this corner of South Dakota just to visit the Wind Cave. The Black Hills have tons of other awesome places, and Wind Cave will likely just be a quick stop on your South Dakota road trip itinerary. We ended up loving this state, and we think you will, too!
We’ll talk more about cool places near Wind Cave National Park later in this article. And we’ll also cover everything there is to do at Wind Cave National Park so that you can decide for yourself if a visit to Wind Cave is worth it!
How to Get to Wind Cave National Park
Wind Cave National Park is located in southern South Dakota in the Black Hills region. The closest airport is Rapid City, which is about an hour away. Plus, the park is located near tons of other South Dakota attractions, making it easy to spend one day in Wind Cave National Park as part of a longer road trip.
Here are some distances to Wind Cave from other nearby Black Hills attractions:
Custer State Park to Wind Cave: 50 minutes, 27 miles (from the Custer State Park visitor center)
Mount Rushmore to Wind Cave: 1 hour, 40 miles
Jewel Cave National Monument to Wind Cave: 35 minutes, 31 miles
Hot Springs to Wind Cave: 16 minutes, 11 miles
Badlands National Park to Wind Cave: 90 minutes, 62 miles
Best Time to Visit Wind Cave National Park
Wind Cave is a year-round destination! The only time tours do not run and the visitor center is closed is on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.
Other than that, Wind Cave tours run all year, even in the winter. And actually, winter would be a good time to visit Wind Cave since the cave always stays around 53-54 degrees! Keep in mind, though, that different tours and times are offered at different times of year, so just make sure you check the tour schedule before you go (see below when we talk more about Wind Cave tours).
Coming in the winter may also mean snow that can occasionally close roads, so other things to do at Wind Cave National Park, like hiking or driving the scenic roads, may not be possible at this time of year.
Summers at Wind Cave can get pretty hot, and summer afternoon storms that can produce hail are common, so just always check the forecast before you head out! We spent one day in Wind Cave in the summer and had no issues.
Spring and fall are good times to visit Wind Cave National Park when temperatures are moderate. Spring is the wettest season and fall is pretty dry. Plus, the fall around September and October is the best time to hear the bugling calls of male elk as they try to attract females!
Check average monthly temperatures here to help you decide when to go to Wind Cave.
Where to Stay Near Wind Cave National Park
There is no lodging in Wind Cave National Park so if you don’t plan on camping, you’ll need to check out other nearby options.
There are a few key towns within the Black Hills region of South Dakota that will put you within an hour of Wind Cave National Park. These include Custer, Keystone, Hill City, and Hot Springs.
Hot Springs is the closest town to Wind Cave National Park, however, it won’t be too convenient if you plan on visiting any other hotspots in the Black Hills. We think the most centrally located place to stay near Wind Cave would be Custer. If you’re planning on spending multiple days and checking out many of the top spots in the Black Hills, Custer would make a good base camp.
Custer State Park itself has four lodges that you can stay at plus 9 campgrounds, so there’s a lot of options but you should definitely book as far in advance as possible to guarantee lodging here.
Camping in Wind Cave National Park
Wind Cave has one campground, the Elk Mountain Campground, that is open year round. It operates on a first come first serve basis, but usually doesn’t fill so you have a good chance of getting a spot, especially on a weekday, and will put you right next to all the best things to do in Wind Cave National Park.
Note, though, that it only has drinking water and toilets available in the summer months. Campsites at this time cost $18. From October through March when water is shut off, sites are $9 a night.

Best Things to Do at Wind Cave National Park
While it’s not a big park, the small number of things to do at Wind Cave National Park do make it worth the visit while you’re in the Black Hills area.
Here’s a list of the best things to see and do at Wind Cave National Park, with some helpful tips and information!
Tour the Wind Cave
It’s probably obvious, but the absolute best thing to do at Wind Cave National Park is to visit the Wind Cave!
A common question is “Can I go into the Wind Cave without a tour?”. And the answer is no…you need to be on a guided tour to enter the Wind Cave. But this isn’t a bad thing! We’ve been to caves that don’t require tours, and this just made us appreciate the guided tour so much more! Tours reduce crowding in the cave, making the experience so much better, and you learn so much more from a knowledgeable ranger.
So, let’s go over Wind Cave tours and how to join one…
Wind Cave tours
Tours of the Wind Cave are offered daily throughout the year. To tour the Wind Cave, you’ll need to get tickets.
Tickets for Wind Cave tours are sold at the visitor center on a first come first serve basis the same day of the tour. You can’t reserve them ahead of time online!
Our experience with getting Wind Cave tour tickets
For some reason, we didn’t think we needed to get to the park particularly early (despite the fact that it was a Sunday in the middle of July!). We thought, it’s not a hugely busy park…no need to rush to get there.
Well, when we arrived at the park’s visitor center by about 10am, we were unpleasantly surprised to see the loooong line emerging from the building! So, I hopped out of the car and ran into line while Kevin scoured the lot for an open parking spot.
The long line for Wind Cave tour tickets!
We ended up waiting in line for about a half hour. Just before 10:30am, a ranger had announced that all Wind Cave tour times before 2 pm were already sold out, and that one of the Wind Cave tours (the Fairmont) was completely sold out for the rest of the day. We also overheard a ranger say that typically Wind Cave tours sell out for the day between 12-2 pm (mainly in the spring, summer, and fall seasons).
Luckily, we were able to easily get a spot on a 2:20 pm tour spot. I did notice that the line didn’t really seem to grow much behind me, so 10:30 am or so seemed to be the end of the rush and parking opened up a lot after that as people got their Wind Cave tour tickets and left the parking lot.
But moral of the story? Get to the park early! If you get there before noon, you should be okay to get on a Wind Cave tour, but the earlier you get there, the more choices you have in terms of times and tours. The visitor center usually opens at 8am (and closes at 4:30pm), so that’s the earliest time you can get a ticket.
Which Wind Cave Tour is best?
There are currently three tours of the Wind Cave available:
The Garden of Eden Tour: This is the easiest Wind Cave tour, covering a third of a mile with only 150 stairs (you enter and exit the cave via elevator) and lasts about an hour, but it still covers all the elements and features that make the Wind Cave so unique.
The Natural Entrance Tour: This Wind Cave tour descends into the cave and covers 2/3 of a mile and 300 steps, leaving the cave by elevator.
The Fairground Tour: This Wind Cave tour is also 2/3 of mile but a bit more strenuous, with 450 stairs.
Each of these Wind Cave tours are offered at different time throughout the year. Check out the schedule here.
So how to choose which Wind Cave tour to take? Well, when we were buying tickets, we were told by the ranger that all Wind Cave tours are pretty similar…each one just goes to a different part of the cave. But in all the tours of Wind Cave, you see the same elements and get all the same information from the ranger. So really, it’s just a matter of how much of a challenge you want hiking through the cave, and what is available by the time you get there.
How much does it cost to tour the Wind Cave?
While entry to Wind Cave National Park is free (!), Wind Cave tours are an additional cost. The Garden of Eden Tour is $10 while the Natural Entrance and Fairgrounds Tours are $12.
Some additional need-to-know information about Wind Cave tours
The park service doesn’t recommend Wind Cave tours for people who are a little claustrophobic. You will definitely be hiking in some narrow passageways, a long way underground nevertheless! And you will be in the cave for at least an hour.
You’ll want to wear layers, as the cave is a constant 53 degrees.
Wear good shoes with good grip (not flip flops or sandals!).
Don’t touch the cave walls or features. Residue from your skin and clothes can negatively impact the cave environment!
Our experience touring the Wind Cave
We went on the Natural Entrance Tour of the Wind Cave and really liked it!
It started just outside of the Visitor Center (when you buy your ticket, they’ll let you know exactly where to meet your tour guide).
We started our Wind Cave tour by walking to the natural entrance to the cave, which is just a small-ish hole on the side of the rock. Our guide did a neat demonstration showing why it’s called the Wind Cave by holding out a piece of fabric and showing it blowing in the strong wind that was emanating from the cave!
The entire Wind Cave tour lasted just over an hour. Once we were in the cave, it was mostly a lot of walking through the narrow passageways and tight turns of the cave. It was pretty dark but the lights highlighting the various features of the cave helped to light the path in front of you. It was a little tricky on some of the narrow staircases, but just follow the person in front of you , take your time feeling out the steps, and hang onto the railing!
During a Wind Cave tour, you’ll be walking through tight, narrow, and dimly lit passages
As we walked single file behind our guide, we got to see lots of interesting features and formations of the cave. Throughout the tour, there were three stops in three different giant cave rooms where we could gather and the guide could talk to us about the geology, formation, and features of the cave, including tons of boxwork.
Admiring the features during our tour of the Wind Cave
During the last stop in the Wind Cave tour, we got to experience a complete black out, where the guide shut off all lights in the cave room, leaving us temporarily in complete darkness. It’s so cool yet so disorienting to experience true darkness…even if you try putting your hand right in front of your face, you can’t see anything. It’s pretty wild!
At the end of our Wind Cave tour, we rode the elevators up to complete our tour.
It was a short experience, but really cool and definitely the best thing to do at Wind Cave National Park!
See the Wind Cave's natural entrance
Okay, so you’ve toured the Wind Cave. Or maybe you didn’t want to tour the cave because you’re a bit claustrophobic and don’t like the thought of being underground. So, what else can you do at Wind Cave National Park?
Great question!
There are a few other things you can check out to fill your day at Wind Cave National Park. The first is visiting the Natural Entrance to the cave.
If you’ve already done this on your Wind Cave tour, then you have this covered already, but if you didn’t get to go on a tour, then it’s worth it to come and check this out.
The Natural Entrance is the only known natural entrance to the cave and the largest natural opening into the Wind Cave. It holds sort of a spiritual significance to the local Lakota people, whose tradition teaches that the first humans and bison emerged from this opening. Often, you will see prayer clothes tied to the trees around the entrance.

You can visit the Wind Cave’s Natural Entrance without going on a tour. Simply go to the lower level of the visitor center and walk the paved path a short way to get to it.
While you’re here, you’re able to feel the wind coming into or out of the entrance and experience what gives the Wind Cave its name!
Hikes in Wind Cave National Park
Make sure you add exploring the above ground world to your Wind Cave itinerary!
Above the Wind Cave is a rolling prairie of grassland and ponderosa pine forests teeming with wildlife. There are over 30 miles of hiking trails at Wind Cave National Park where you can explore this landscape, making hiking a great thing to do at Wind Cave. Even if you don’t tour the cave, we think it’s worth coming to Wind Cave National Park just to hike on the trails!
Surprisingly, many people don’t hike at Wind Cave National Park. It seemed that many people grabbed their Wind Cave tour tickets, toured the cave, and left. Or, if they had a later tour time, they left the park to go to other nearby Black Hills destinations, like Mount Rushmore or Hot Springs, and came back to Wind Cave in time for their tour. This means that hiking is an awesome thing to do at Wind Cave National Park if you really want to escape the crowds and experience some solitude out on the trails.
Spotting wildlife on the trails is a fun thing to do in Wind Cave National Park!
Here are some trails at Wind Cave National Park that particularly piqued our interest:
Prairie Vista Trail: A short and easy one mile round trip hike starting at the visitor center that is good for spotting wildlife like pronghorn.
Rankin Ridge: This is a quick 1 mile round trip hike to the highest point in the park. There’s a fire tower on top that’s closed to the public but from the ridge you can still see as far out as to the Badlands on a clear day! This is more like a nature trail that has an interpretive guide you can purchase at the visitor center.
Cold Brook Canyon: This is a 2.4 mile out and back trail that was recommended to us by the ranger for wildlife viewing. Along this trail you’ll meander through both forest and prairie and have a good chance at spotting wildlife like prairie dogs, birds of prey, and coyotes.
Lookout Point Trail: This is one of the hikes in Wind Cave National Park that we did. This trail is 4.4 miles out and back and takes you over rolling prairies in search of prairie dogs and bison.
Centennial Trail: This is another Wind Cave hike we did, as it connects to the Lookout Point Trail. The whole trail is 6 miles one way and makes up the southernmost part of a 111 mile trail through the Black Hills ending at Bear Butte State Park. It will take you through prairies, forest, and alongside creeks and cool rock formations.
The Lookout Point Centennial Loop connects two of the Wind Cave hiking trails and makes a good option for a quick 4.5 mile day hike in Wind Cave National Park.
Tips for hiking in Wind Cave National Park
Wear sunscreen and a hat. In the summer, it can get pretty hot and the sun can be quite strong.
Check the forecast and bring rain gear. In the summer especially, afternoon storms are common. Don’t hike if a storm is in the forecast, and bring rain gear just in case.
Bring bug spray.
Watch for ticks and poison ivy, which are common here. It’s best to wear long pants as some parts of trails may be overgrown.
Keep your eye out for rattlesnakes. Even right smack dab in the middle of a trail, we nearly stepped on one and had a heart attack! They are especially prevalent around prairie dog towns.
Do not feed or approach any wildlife. Make sure to give animals, especially bison, plenty of space and if they’re in the middle of the trail, go well around them.
Bring plenty of water.
Make sure you bring some sort of trail map with you, especially if you’re hiking a trail with lots of intersecting paths. We found that on the trail we hiked, the junctions were well marked, but with trail numbers rather than trail names which had us a bit confused.
Watch out for these guys while hiking in Wind Cave!
Typical overgrowth on some Wind Cave hiking trails
Open hike policy in Wind Cave National Park
Wind Cave National Park actually has an open hike policy, meaning you are allowed to hike off designated trails.
Use extra caution if you choose to do this and definitely keep in mind all the tips above. If you’re walking of trail, you’ll have to be especially vigilant about running into unpleasant wildlife, like rattlesnakes, that can keep themselves pretty well disguised in the tall prairie grass.
Drive the backcountry roads of Wind Cave National Park
Exploring the backcountry roads is an off the beaten path thing to do in Wind Cave National Park
Another great thing to do in Wind Cave National Park if you’re looking to view wildlife without going on a hike is to drive one of the park’s backcountry roads, NPS5 and NPS6.
These are gravel roads through the Wind Cave wilderness that are not at all heavily trafficked…in fact you might not see any other cars out there! But out here you’ll have an opportunity to spot prairie dog towns, bison, pronghorn, coyotes, and more.
We drove part of NPS5 during our one day in Wind Cave National Park. To get to NPS5, you’ll drive south on SD385 through the park, towards Hot Springs. After you exit the park boundary, keep an eye out on your left for route 101.
Once on 101, look for NPS5 on your left. It’s best to have navigation on for this so you don’t miss it.
The first part of NPS5 will be outside the park. It’s a dirt road but easy and well maintained. However, once you cross back over into the park, the road becomes significantly worse. It gets pretty rough with lots of potholes. You could do it in a car, but I don’t think we would have. You just have to take it really slow, which is fine, because you’ll be on the lookout for wildlife anyway!
Distant pronghorn along Wind Cave’s backcountry roads
We actually didn’t see much in terms of wildlife along the road. We did see tons of prairie dogs…they have towns literally everywhere! And at the end, we did see a herd of pronghorn in the distance, which was pretty cool!
Along the way, you’ll come to a fork in the road where you can take a right to continue onto NPS6 for more backcountry driving, or you can stay on NPS5, which will eventually drop you out at SD87. Heading north on this road will lead you back up to Custer State Park, or drive south here to go back into Wind Cave.
Overall, once we were in the park boundary, the road took us about 20-30 minutes to drive.
Look for wildlife in Wind Cave National Park
A great thing to do in Wind Cave National Park once you’re done exploring life underground is to explore the life above ground! There is so much cool wildlife in the park, but it might take a little bit of patience and luck to see it!
Prairie dogs are everywhere in Wind Cave National Park!
To help you out, here are some of the best places to spot wildlife in Wind Cave National Park:
NPS5 and NPS6: As you read above, these backcountry roads are quiet and lesser travelled, making them great places at Wind Cave National Park to view wildlife. Along these roads, you might be able to spot bison, pronghorn, and prairie dogs. Bison herds are often found along NPS6 close to Custer State Park. Boland Ridge is a longer hike found off of NPS6 that’s home to one of the park’s elk herds (most likely seen at dawn and dusk).
Bison Flats: This area off of Highway 385 is a common area to spot bison herds, pronghorn, and also elk (more likely at dawn and dusk). The East Bison Flats Trail is a good place to explore on foot in this area.
Prairie dog towns: These guys are everywhere! Trust us, you won’t leave Wind Cave without seeing them. As you drive along Highway 385, keep your eyes peeled for these cute little guys poking their heads out of their burrows. And if you get out on a trail, you’ll likely see them. On the Lookout Point trail, we hiked right through three prairie dog towns!
Go backcountry camping in Wind Cave National Park
Backcountry camping is great way to experience the solitude of Wind Cave National Park. It is only allowed in the Northwestern corner of the park, and you’ll need to pick up a free backcountry camping permit from the visitor center.
Check out this website for more information about specifically where you can pitch your tent and common locations to do so.
Tips for Visiting Wind Cave National Park
While you’re out doing all the awesome things to do at Wind Cave National Park, be sure to keep these tips in mind to make sure you have a great visit!
How much does it cost to visit Wind Cave National Park? We have good news for you…entrance to Wind Cave National Park is completely free! Feel free to drive the scenic roads and hike the trails without a fee. But to tour the cave, you’ll pay a separate tour fee as we described above ($10-12 depending on the tour). Extra tip: Even though you don’t need it for this park, the Annual Parks Pass is still good to have in this area, as there are several nearby monuments that you could visit, such as Badlands National Park and Devils Tower.
Bring layers: Though it may be a hot day outside, the Wind Cave stays at a cool 53 degrees or so year round, so make sure you are prepared for both hot and cool temperatures throughout the day.
Check the forecast: Summer storms are common. Pack rain gear just in case.
Wear a hat, sunscreen, and bugspray.
Proper hiking clothes: When hiking, it’s best to wear long sleeve and good closed-toe hiking shoes, stay on the lookout for poison ivy, and check for ticks when you’re done. After one of our hikes, I pulled off three ticks!
Watch out for rattlesnakes! Be sure to stay on trail where they are a bit more obvious to spot. Be particularly vigilant near prairie dog towns, where they tend to linger.
Keep at least 25 yards away from wildlife, especially bison. If they are on the trail, keep your space and turn around or make a wide path around them. These guys can be particularly unpredictable and become more aggressive May through August in the mating season.
Drive slowly and watch out for animals on the road! – especially near dawn and dusk.
Don’t feed any of the wildlife.
Expect limited cell service and have offline maps downloaded for navigation in the area.
How Long Do You Need At Wind Cave National Park?
There isn’t a ton to do at Wind Cave, so really, all you need is one day at Wind Cave National Park to fully experience it!
Often, people spend even less time here, just touring the cave and then leaving. But if you’re not on a tight schedule, we definitely recommend spending a full day here to see and do everything at Wind Cave!
One day at Wind Cave National Park
To help you plan your time, here is a suggested one day Wind Cave National Park itinerary.
Get to the park early in the morning, ideally close to 8 am when the visitor center opens but any time before 10 am should be okay. This will ensure you get the tour and time of your choice that day.
If you have to wait a bit for your tour time, spend a few hours on a hiking trail or two (we recommend the Rankin Ridge Trail and the Lookout Point Trail).
Take a tour of the Wind Cave.
If you still have some time to kill, head just 15 minutes south to Hot Springs to tour the Mammoth Site.
Spend the late afternoon/evening driving NPS5 and or NPS6 to spot wildlife as you head back up towards Custer.
Alternate one day Wind Cave National Park itinerary: Some people like to come to Wind Cave National Park to grab tickets, tour the cave in the morning, and then spend the afternoon in a nearby spot like Mount Rushmore. Or, if your tour is in the afternoon, after grabbing your tickets, head to Mount Rushmore and then come back to Wind Cave in time for your tour later in the day. While this is a great option for those short on time in the Black Hills in general, we definitely recommend spending more time exploring Wind Cave if you can.
