Hiking
The Highland Creek Trail is the longest trail in Wind Cave National Park, at 8.6 miles long. This knoll is one of the highest points along the trail, affords sweeping views across the prairie, and provides ample opportunities for wildlife encounters. You might see herds of the iconic bison or of pronghorns, which are the fastest land mammals native to North America. This spot is a great place to take in the views and look for animals.
