Our take

Most people drive right past Wind Cave on the way to the Black Hills, and that's a mistake. One of the longest, strangest caves in the world sits under some of the prettiest prairie in the Dakotas. We filmed both, above and below.

Situated where the Northern Great Plains meet the Black Hills, Wind Cave National Park spans more than 33,000 acres of spectacular views and subterranean wonders. Iconic wildlife, teeming forests, rolling hills, and one of the largest and most fascinating caves in the world. Wind Cave truly is more than meets the eye.

Journey with us as we explore life above and below ground in one of the most scenic corners of the United States.
