Hiking
The Wind Cave Canyon Trail is an easy trail that follows a former road over gently rolling hills to the very edge of Wind Cave National Park. As you hike down the trail, the limestone cliffs that make up the canyon quickly come into view. These cliffs provide nesting areas for cliff swallows, canyon wrens, and great horned owls. This is also a great place to look for woodpeckers among the trees on the hillsides above the rocks.
