Custer State Park

If you rent a cabin in Custer SP you may be able to see entire herd of bison come and graze right in front of your cabin! They are abundant in this park. We also saw lots of mule deer and some antelope, wild burros—but the thing that filled me with awe, again and again, was seeing the bison in a natural environment like they must have been hundreds of years ago. Very pleasant weather in August 2007.

It’s all about the wildlife! There was an abundance of buffalo, antelope, and we even seen a bunch of wild donkeys! You might want to consider traveling the park in the spring before the tourist rush begins. The weather was great when I went and there were very few people on the road, so no RV’s blocking the beautiful view. Definitely worth visiting if you appreciate wildlife.

You could spend a week just wandering around in this MASSIVE park. You’ll see lots of Bison (aka Buffallo), Wild Burros, Deer, Elk, and lots of others. A delightful mix of scenery.

Sylvan Lake is amazing, and photogenic.

... I’ve moved to Montana I’ve had a big interest in Lewis and Clark as well as a lot of the civil war history.

This is one of my favorite vacation spots
