Through the Ages: A Day at Wind Cave | Wind Cave National Park

Generations of people have called this stretch of prairie and cave country home. Join Ranger Madelyn to walk through a single day in the lives of those who came before, and see how their stories still shape Wind Cave today.

About the Wind Cave evening programs: These free programs are presented by National Park Service rangers at the Elk Mountain Campground amphitheater in Wind Cave National Park. Each program begins at 9:00 pm and lasts about an hour. Programs are free, open to all ages, and no registration is required. Bring a blanket or camp chair and dress for cool prairie evenings. The amphitheater is at the Elk Mountain Campground, off US Highway 385 north of Hot Springs, South Dakota. Programs may be canceled in poor weather.
