    From the platform
    Janis W.

    Keep your eyes open when driving through the Black Hills - if it wasn't for the cars on the side of the road we might have missed it. It's a nice view from the platform. We didn't have the right shoes to try to get to the base - you'll be walking across a stream on rocks so plan on wet and possibly slippery surfaces.

    Walking to the base

    We started down Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway and stopped at Bridal Veil Falls, Spearfish Falls, and Roughlock Falls. Bridal Veil Falls (60ft) has a small parking lot across the street. You can get a great photo from the overlook on the platform. If you have time, bring water shoes to hike down the stream to get to the base of the waterfall. If you're facing the waterfall then go down on the left side of the platform and come back up the same way. It has huge boulders that create "stairs" pathway. We had ages as young as 4 and they were all capable of this hike. Our parents in their 80s stayed back to watch our stuff. The water is extremely cold at first so be prepare for that initial shock. You can balance your way across the log but it's slippery and so are the rocks. I've been to bigger falls in Hawaii but never to the base. This distance is short and it's so worth it!

    This stop is SO WORTH IT! I wasn't expecting to be overly impressed with this waterfall, but I was. There's a nice little lookout, but a little adventuring can put you at the base of this beautiful sight! I am not much of an adventurer but I'm so glad I did it. My favorite part of my family trip to the Black Hills!

    This waterfall is worthy of your stop for a photo with your special loved ones. It will be brief, as there is not much else to see or do other than that capture and the memory you'll have of the sights and sounds of a beautiful canyon and its waterfall. Bridal Veil is a good name too, as the water is very thin, delicate and veil-like. So, stop, enjoy, listen and breath in that clean air. I would even tell you to stop and smell the roses, if there were any there - as, this is one of those moments :) My photo is taken during that week or two, at the most, when you have Autumn and Winter kissing each other - the first part of October.

    I love the park. My favorite time to drive through the park is during late spring and early summer…read morewhen all the animals are having their babies. It is the cutest thing ever. The scenery is so varied and breathtaking. I could go through the park every day

    We started off our day at Custer State Park. We began by going into the visitor center, which is an…read moreabsolute MUST DO. Why? Because when you walk in there is a large scale model of the park and they mark it to show the last reported sighting of bison. The volunteers then showed us how to find that area, and they also showed us another visitor center along the way where they recommended we stop to get further updated information. The bison were located at the southern end of the park, so the beginning of our drive was just through beautiful landscape, without much wildlife at that point. We stopped as instructed at the next visitor center, and got an updated status of the bison, as well as directions on how to find them, as you needed to go off on one of the side roads. We headed off, and then as we rounded the bend on the road there they were! Hundreds of bison as far as you could see. It was absolutely amazing. You can easily pull to the side of the road and stop, and you can roll down your windows and just observe - it was incredible. Several times we were stopped along the way as they crossed the road in front of us. It was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to South Dakota. After we finished driving through the herd, we continued our journey and ended up at the Blue Bell Lodge for lunch, which we highly recommend. From there, we drove the Needles Highway, a big portion of which in our case was done in the rain. But despite the rain, there was still lots to see, even though a lot of it for us was from inside the car, where we periodically rolled down the windows to take pictures. I would say our day at Custer State Park was absolutely the best experience we had during the entire stay in South Dakota, so I would highly, highly recommend it!

    I definitely recommend putting this on something you go and visit in your lifetime. It is a very…read moreamazing monument from the time you walk up through the main gate you can start to see the monument and it's just amazing at the work that was put into it they have lined the pathway with the flags from all 50 states and it just kinda gives you this amazing walk up experience and that if you haven't seen you early enjoy. My family and I spent about an hour and a half there which is a great amount of time you can walk up get some great photos plenty of park Rangers around to talk to get directions and tell you a little bit more about the park They do offer videos certain times of the day that are very informative. They have a full-blown theater at the foot of the mountain, which is really amazing when people can perform and things like that which I had no idea that was there until later. And then they have this amazing easy to travel trail. You can do about 50% of it with the stroller and get close up to the monument and take a great photo but then there comes an area where it says I have almost 450 steps so we stopped right there and turned back, but it does do a loop around the whole area with spectacular views. I definitely think that this is a great place to go and visit really peaceful place well-maintained. They do have restaurants and gift shops there so if you're ever in South Dakota, go and give this place a visit

    Last summer, June 2025 - completed my quest to visit all 50 states. ND and SD were my last two -…read moreand no visit to SD would be complete if you didn't stop off to see Mount Rushmore. I don't remember how much parking was. There are signs there. Or check the site. Just follow the signs, grab a ticket and pay for it at one of the kiosks. It's not rocket science. You'll figure it out. Usual shops for gifts and things but know it's tourists' prices. Multiple exhibits where you can learn about how the memorial came to be before taking a walk on the trail that gives you a closer look. Don't forget to grab some shots of the way leading up to the memorial of all 50 states' flags and plaques. Admission is free - and check the site for different events like lighting ceremonies. Didn't catch that but maybe next time. I say that because I can see myself visiting the area again. Lots to see and do out there.
