In our second installment of A Long Time Coming, we drop into South Dakota to explore the rugged Black Hills, Wind Cave National Park and Custer State Park. This part of South Dakota often goes overlooked but is home to a dense collection of incredible wild spaces just waiting to be explored.

Our episode picks back up at the Wonder Lake campground in Denali National Park and Preserve. It was our last day before catching the bus back to our truck. Though we were sad to be leaving, the weather took a turn for the worse. We hopped on the bus just as it started to rain.
