Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota… just maybe don’t take one of the cave tours hundreds of feet underneath the Earth’s surface if you are prone to claustrophobia…😳😖😵‍💫 Life of Dad and the kids loved it… mom not so much!#windcavenationalpark #southdakota #cavetour #GrisRilesFamilyVacation #lifeofmom #lifeofdad | Life of Mom

There are so many cool things to see and do at Wind Cave National Park while they work on replacing and modernizing their elevator system! No official word on when tours will resume (they anticipate renovations going into early winter), but it will be well worth the wait. In the meantime visitors can enjoy all the wildlife, hiking the Rankin Ridge Trail, photogenic rolling landscapes, and the epic views of Beaver Creek Bridge ABOVE ground at Wind Cave National Park. | Travel South Dakota
