Custer State Park Jeep Tour & Chuckwagon Cookout

Our buffalo safari tour will take you where only we can go: off-road. Trek through the park in an open-air jeep in search of pronghorns, elk, and the noble buffalo. Along the way, our guides will share historical and educational facts about the park and wildlife—and help you spot the critters.

But it doesn't stop there. This tour then meets up with the Chuckwagon Cookout in the mountain canyon for a chuck wagon feast and live entertainment with some Western flair. You’ll also get your own souvenir cowboy hat and bandanna to play the part.
