The geology driving tour is a great way to see the park while learning about the rich geologic history of the Black Hills. On this 20 mile long tour, you will travel back in time and view Wind Cave's rock record to get a glimpse into its past.
The earth is constantly changing. While some geologic changes can be observed, most occur very slowly and are imperceptible during a human lifetime. Because of this, geologists use the rock record to explain the complex geologic history of our planet. Studying rock types and layers provides insight into the geologic, climatic and biologic changes that have occurred on the earth.
On this driving tour, you will examine the rock record of Wind Cave National Park. Please note that the stops are presented in the most convenient driving order, not in geologic order.
You may also pick up a printout with the stops and a geologic timeline from the visitor center.
