I spent two week in Custer State Park and the surrounding area this June. Not a bad place to be in late spring! Things were a touch dry, so the wildflowers were not as abundant as I've seen in the past, but the scenery, wildlife and views were still spectacular. Later in the month I hiked the walking trail at Lake Vermillion Recreation area and found some wildflower pockets adding color to the prairie hills.
