Prarie dogs are at home along Wildlife Loop Road in Custer State Park.

Li's favorite photo - early in the morning on the trail up to Harney Peak - a great view but the wind was howling!

The fire tower at the top of Harney Peak - although no longer in use by rangers, it still provides a great view for hikers.

Sticking your head out the Harney Peak fire tower window gives you a sense of vertigo!

The final set of stairs up to Harney Peak can be seen from the fire tower - can you spot the man descending?

View from the Mount Coolidge fire lookout - one of the few photos with both of us in it.

This photo shows that although carving was started in 1949, Crazy Horse Memorial is still a work in progress.

This scaled statue shows the sculptor's vision of Crazy Horse upon completion. The memorial is being built to honor the great heros of the Indian tribes.
