Beautiful scenery especially the granite formations which reach vertically to the sky. The tunnels through the rock are amazing.

The scenic drives to and through the park are spectacular, but don't be in a hurry, some of them are very windy.
Saw bison, mule deer, pronghorns, & more everyday. All of the park staff we interacted with (hotel staff, rangers, visitor center staff, etc) were great! The park is clean and well maintained. We spent 2 days there and could have used one more day to take it all in. Can't wait to go back!
Took a drive through the park. Made for a very nice day. We went on the wildlife loop and the needles highway. The needles are a very neat thing to see. There are many camp grounds cabins and lodges for staying in the park. The camp grounds are beautiful. There are also a lot of beautiful picnic areas. There are...

This park is definitely worth the value. Sites including the bison etc were wonderful. I'd give yourself an entire day for this park. Lots of photograph opportunities. I would recommend having a 1/4 tank of gas as there can be a bit of driving between trails, photo sites etc.
Astonishing! Everything about this park is incredibly first class. It It is immaculate. It is beautiful. It has something for everybody. There are easy to very tough hikes. There is swimming. There are lodges. There are mountains, animals, valleys, hills a playhouse, great visitor centers. The roads through the park are amazing, especially 16A from Mount Rushmore to Wildlife Loop....

A must! You will see plenty of wild life. Be certain to talk to the gate attendants, they will tell you where you are likely to see the animals!
If you want to see wildlife then this is definitely the place to go! If you want to see Buffalo I would HIGHLY recommend stopping either at the visitor center or one of the ranger stations and ask them where the herds are. If we hadn't done this and just driven the outer loop we would have missed seeing a...

Very nice park. Rivals some national parks. Great campgrounds, beautiful lakes and streams, trees. Saw lots of buffalo, antelope and deer. Stayed in Grace Coolidge and in Blue Bell campgrounds. If you are staying in Blue Bell with a trailer be aware that some of the sites are on a hill and will require substantial leveling. Great park though. Town...
