Badlands National Park has received its first snow for the year! ❄️

Can you spot the hidden animal in this photo? 🔍

NPS Photo/L. Jones: A dusting of white snow on Badlands peaks and dry, brown, prairie grass, with a cloudy gray sky above, and a bare cottonwood tree in the foreground. A small rabbit blends in with the landscape.

🎼Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the cave is so delightful
And since it's a constant 49 degrees
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.... 🎼

While it's not the first snow of the season, snow is falling today! There is a potential of 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulation. But Jewel Cave stays a constant 49°F (9°C) and it never snows in the cave!

We are currently open daily from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, unless the road and weather conditions make travel to the park unsafe, through Saturday, November 30th. We will be closed on Thursday, November 28th, and on Sundays starting December 1st.

The Terry Redlin Art Center is a tribute to the beauty of rural America, with over 160 of Redlin's original paintings on display.

Redlin, a South Dakota native, was deeply inspired by the landscapes and wildlife of the region, capturing serene moments like golden sunsets and quiet countryside scenes.

Plan your visit to experience the warmth and nostalgia of his work!

Pickle beer is the ultimate way to let our love for all things tangy and delicious run free. How do you take your pickle beer?

Splash of pickle juice?
One pickle?
Two pickles?

Do you finish the pickle once your drink is gone?

"It's pretty cool that in the middle of South Dakota you can find a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed lakefront lodge. But unless you're seriously into architecture, the bigger draw is probably waking up to a buffalo in your front yard."

Sylvan Lake Lodge in Custer State Park is getting some well deserved attention!

One of these hotels is a helicopter.
