July 2020 – Custer State Park, South Dakota

It sure was fun watching these goats and they were fun to photograph. Hope you enjoy seeing them.

Custer State Park

Custer State Park
Custer State Park is a South Dakota State Park and wildlife reserve in the Black Hills, United States. The park is South Dakota’s largest and first state park, named after Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer. The area originally started out as sixteen sections but was later changed into one block of land because of the challenges of the terrain. The park began to grow rapidly in the 1920s and gained new land. During the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps built miles of roads, laid out parks and campgrounds, and built three dams that set up a future of water recreation at the park. In 1964 an additional 22,900 acres were added to the park. The park covers an area of over 71,000 acres of hilly terrain and is home to many wild animals.

~Cam-er-a, that is:

It’s always fun to see wildlife while on a trip.  Especially wildlife that you don’t see while at home.

I feel very lucky to have seen three different Moose, several Pronghorn Antelope,  and some American Bison

First the Antelope…

Second the Bison…  

I don’t have a really good photo of the Bison, because they don’t seem to look up very much; too busy eating. Plus they were just off the road with lots of cars coming and going. However, it was fun to see the bird on one’s back.

Next the Moose…

 This young guy went down to the river for a drink.

Here is a Mama Moose with a calf. This Mom and calf were down in an area called Beaver Ponds. We took several hikes in this area called Fremond Lake. If you are ever in the Pinedale area it’s well worth a visit. https://www.visitpinedale.org/explore/lakes/fremont-lake

What’s next, I bear I hope!
