When visiting, you can expect to see prairie dogs and pronghorn antelope, along with many other animals and birds. Avid hikers like camping at Wind Cave National Park so they can enjoy the park's 30-mile trail network.

Hiking trails are categorized into easy, moderate, and strenuous. Know your physical limits and choose the appropriate trails for your capabilities. One of the easiest trails to hike is the Elk Mountain Trail, which is just over a mile long and winds its way around Elk Mountain Campground.

Visitors are advised to wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and sturdy lace-up shoes with non-slip soles. Anyone under the age of 16 is not allowed on the tour. You'll have to crawl through some parts of the cave, so expect to get dirty and wet on this excursion.
