By Wind Cave National Park
Beginning Wednesday, September 13, Rangers at Wind Cave National Park are giving brief interpretive programs about elk before leading a caravan to a nearby pullout to listen for them.
These one-hour programs are offered Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings through Saturday, October 7. Participants meet at the Wind Cave Visitor Center front lawn at 7 p.m. and are encouraged to bring a flashlight, a camp chair or blanket to sit on, and to dress warmly.
The park visitor center will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until September 30, 4:30 p.m. after that. Cave tours are on hold pending repairs to the cave’s elevators.
Tours are expected to resume in mid-October. The park store, run by the Black Hills Parks and Forests Association, a non-profit partner supporting park education efforts, is open with a variety of products for sale.
