Overview

You will be touring in a Turtle Top Terra Executive Bus with individual leather reclining seats. Lots of overhead storage and plugins for your cells and cameras. This bus has huge side windows and a special front 'vista' window above the drivers windshield. Excellent viewing and great comfort for up to 14 guests. Cold AC and snacks, bottled water and picnic lunch included.

Badlands National Park has serrated spires, weather-beaten buttes and cavernous gorges. It offer unique scenery and it's home to a diverse variety of wildlife; buffalo, prairie dogs, coyote, deer, bighorn sheep and antelope. We stop at the major overlooks for photos and viewing.

We also will stop at the Ben Reifel Center (museum with fossil collection and bookstore) for lunch at a shaded picnic area.

Along the way we visit the famous Wall Drug Store (old tourist trap that is worth the stop) and visit the new Minuteman National Historic Site and Delta 9 Missile Exhibit (not open on Sundays or Mondays).

What To Expect

Custer State Park

Custer State Park is home to one of the largest American bison herds in the world. The annual roundup keeps the population in balance with the available land and resources. Most return right back to their home, the grasslands of Custer State Park.This event, is annually held on the last Friday in September - one day only.The Park Rangers move the approximately 1,400 buffalo (bison) from their summer pastures into corrals. This is a way to manage the bison herd, identify calves, and ensure the health and well-being of the animals. It also serves as a spectacle for visitors to witness the traditional cowboy culture and the movement of the large herd.Once placed in the corrals, park staff sorts out 200-500 animals to be sold, vaccinates the new members of the herd, brands the new calves, and checks the cows for pregnancy. It takes about four days to work the entire herd.
