Custer State Park is just a few miles south of Hill City. We spent most of the day driving the many roads in the park and having fun watching and taking pictures of the animals.

They have a large bison herd. During the fall roundup the new arrivals are branded and some of the older animals are designated for auction. The herd is kept at a number which the park can support without overgrazing.

There are also quite a few wild donkeys.

And we saw several of this year's additions.

This mule was a real surprise. It reminded us of a paint horse our son and his family have on our property.

This male pronghorn antelope had a good-sized harem.

Just a few of the turkeys that were in a flock near the road.

This mule deer made a nice pose for us.

On the way back to the campground we passed near Mt. Rushmore and saw this view of George.
