Tours at Wind Cave National Park in the Black Hills are on hold due to elevator repairs.
Park staff say they’ve ordered replacement parts, and tours could resume in early September.
“We believe this current repair will get us back up and running until there is a total replacement of the elevator system in 2024,” said Park Superintendent Leigh Welling. “While we wait for these repairs, there is still plenty to do at the park. Rangers are giving a variety of programs throughout the day beginning at 9 a.m. with a talk at the Natural Entrance and ending at 8:30 p.m. with our evening program at the Elk Mountain Campground.”
The park’s visitor center remains open and several nature hikes will continue like normal. Details on activities are available on the park's website.
