This is a must see if you’re in the area. We drove the Wildlife Loop around and saw all kinds of animals. The bison roam freely around the roads and we were able to see them close up. Very cool. We s… Full review by punky_one

We were advised to book a jeep tour here and we were not disappointed! Saw buffalo, an antelope and prairie dogs. Our guide, Wayne, did a fantastic job not only showing us the animals but giving us… Full review by noel1127

Q:
Trying to decide if the Black Elk Trail 9 is an ok trail for my kids (age 17, 13, 9, & 8.) We are an athletic family and last year did a 6 mile bike ride on the southern rim of the grand canyon, so we love family physical activities. But hiking to Black Elk Peak (Harney Peak) may be a different, more difficult challenge, than what we are used to. Can an 8 & 9 year old handle the challenge of the Black Elk Trail 9 to the peak?
