    Tips

    October 27, 2023

    This historic fire tower sits at the highest point in the park. Although you cannot climb the structure, you can still appreciate the panoramic views across the prairie from this spot. On clear days you can see all the way to Badlands National Park and Buffalo Gap. Be on the lookout for wildlife such as bison, pronghorns, and prairie dogs.
