Needles Highway: Custer State Park

The Needles Highway is an amazing scenic road named for its needle-like rock formations.  With views of a variety of spires and outcroppings, the highway is considered one of the most scenic drives in America.
The Needle's Eye


The kids had a great time climbing around The Needle's Eye.



It was kind of cool driving straight through the blasted granite cliffs like this.  

Know Before You Go:  You'll experience hairpin curves, pigtail bridges, and narrow tunnels that wind in and around massive granite pinnacles and rugged terrain.  Keep your eyes on the road and drive slowly.  The animals are out! 
Bring lots of cold water and snacks.
