Description
About this Wind Cave National Park hoodie
This is a full-zip hoodie made for visitors to Wind Cave National Park, in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota. The front carries the historic stone entrance sign that has marked the way underground for generations. The back opens into a full-color scene: bison grazing the mixed-grass prairie above, and cavers tracing the passages of the cave below, under a Black Hills sunset.
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. It is known above all for boxwork, the delicate honeycomb fins of calcite that Wind Cave holds in greater concentration than anywhere else on Earth, an estimated 95% of the world’s known boxwork.

Who it’s for
It fits anyone who has walked down into Wind Cave or watched the herd move across the grassland and wants something to remember it by. It works as an everyday layer at home, a warm option for cool mornings at elevation, and a gift for a national-park traveler or a boxwork-and-bison enthusiast.
