Description
About this Wind Cave National Park youth t-shirt
This is a soft cotton t-shirt for younger visitors to Wind Cave National Park, in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota. The front shows a friendly cartoon prairie dog rising out of its burrow, with the park name below. Black-tailed prairie dogs live in towns across the park’s mixed-grass prairie, and watching them pop up and chirp is one of the things kids remember most from a visit above the cave.
Wind Cave was the seventh national park in the United States, established in 1903, and the first national park anywhere set aside to protect a cave. Below the prairie lies a cave known for boxwork, the honeycomb fins of calcite that Wind Cave holds in greater concentration than anywhere else on Earth.
