When my husband and I did this trail several years ago, we were warned about rattlers by other hikers. Didn't get as far as you did as the the trail got so over grown we were leery about not being able to see the rattlers.😳

Might have been a Marmot.

Do you carry anything specific to protect against any creatures like a mountain lion?

I do admire your determination. I too forget things> I have found it helpful to make a master list of everything I need for my trips. When I discover I forgot something I add it to the master list for future trips. It is an on going process but it has helped me travel for comfortable.

15:20 me and my dog little pockets were attaked by a mountain lion. It had little pockets luckily i threw a rock and hit it. I got Little pockets and we got out. Be careful it can happen to you also

OY! You take too many chances!! Make a list of hiking needs....keep bug spray in backpack, get a charger. I use AllTrails and it lets me know when I get off the trail and how to get back on it, if I've downloaded it beforehand. Stay safe.

Wow that is some great terrain! Never really seen South Dakota. Thank ya for the upload! 30:46 Looked really cool on camera with the flashlight! 😍😍🤩🤩

Well if this isn’t the ULTIMATE answer to the Man vs Bear question, I don’t know what is. Hope that gets its own little segment! Way to represent us Ken!

I went and got the TASD at your office the other day. Wanted to say HI but you weren't there. Perhaps that's when you did this hike. Did you notice the trail across from Mt Coolidge on top of Heddy Draw, on the right side of it? Have hiked it a couple of times, but not down into the draw. LOL didn't want to have to climb back up it.🥴

I picked up your trail guide at the Visitor Center in Hill City. Very impressive. Thanks.

nice

Yup Manitou is no joke

Great video...

I am really impressed with your youtube channel and your outstanding video. I appreciate your video content here, sorry I don't usually write in comments section but I think you deserve this complement.. Thanks and stay safe 🌺🌸🌼🌹🌷🌻

How long did it take you?

Why you always filming your face . No one interested in you.

This is nuts. I wonder if pepper spray would have at least made it stop following you. Horrible walking six miles having to constantly look behind you every 3 seconds! Definitely a cardio workout day.

heard about this beautiful place from a song “the black hills of dakota” by doris day. some day i will visit the black hills.

Lovely presentation, your storytelling is truly captivating!

I will get mine next week in Hill City THANKS

looks beautiful but i like the western states better. travel through 13 western states for 6 months and i felt like the natural beauty god created had rejuvenated my soul.

Hike and carry, be safe!

It's so fun to watch the Prairie Dogs. ❤

We love hiking in the Badlands! We only live 2 hours away, so try to get there when we can. We haven't done the Castle Trail yet. That will be next on our list. Thanks for taking us with you! ❤

Oooh. We love hiking the Prairie Trail. Have done that one twice now. Once in summer and once in winter. Thanks for sharing! ❤ The Pronghorn, Burros, and Bison are always fun to see. Love Custer State Park! 😊

You should get a wide rim straw hat with string tied under your chin (so the wind won’t blow it off). I always wear a wide rim straw hat when I go out under the sun for a prolonged time. It keeps your head cool & not so stuffy & sweaty. It also prevents sunburn on your face & protects your skin.

South Dakota has way more to offer then the badlsnds ,blackhills is where you wanna be to hsve the most fun

Your so sexy i live in southdakota great living if u like winter 8 months of the year ❤

You didn't show us any of the shady spots! 🤣

What a trex, glad you took enough water. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia.

Wonderful. I've been trying to arrange some time in this area to do some night sky photography. Seems the stars have not been aligning for moon phase and cloud cover.

I’m really liking your new editor!!!!

I liked it when you forked off. That was cute.❤

Did the microphone actually crap out, or did you censure her because she was telling the buffalooo.. lol.. to "fork off" like the trails in the last video???...lol

Loved the "fork off" and the giggling that followed!!! lol

The Beaver Creek-Lookout Loop t'is a great hike. The first vid I put on YT was on this trai, of a prairie dog and bison. My husband and I used to do it lots.

If you fall that’s GG’s

I will come with you beautiful x

Can you give me a shoutout

You’re kind of in the way of the view mom

What have you been doing

Dang mom good job on the channel you went from three to two hundred🎉

Before you even played the song, I thought to myself, "They have to change that guy on a Buffalo song." Guy on a Bison just doesn't flow as well.

Black Elk Peak 😜... old habits and all that

Two years ago i found a bunch around Horse Thief lake at the pullout by the highway to Rushmore. It was around May 7th

Great content! Incorporating SEO strategies can be within CZcams's guidelines and help your video gain more traction. Happy to provide guidance on this if you're interested!

"I just want to see where [the trail] goes..." The true spirit of a hiker!

I sent this on to my neighbor here in NW Washington State, because he was born an raised in Custer with mom still living there. I bet I can answer questions of this area from a local boy!
