Built in 1887, the Cold Springs Schoolhouse is among South Dakota's oldest log school buildings. This historic structure once served as a school, dance hall, church, and community center. After closing in 1949 following a major blizzard, it faced demolition but was restored by the Cold Springs Historical Society. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the schoolhouse stands beside the Cold Springs Cemetery. Visitors can explore the site, especially during monthly open houses from May to October, and reflect on the area's rich educational and communal heritage
The Sanctuary Trail is a 3.6-mile (5.8 km) one-way hike through Wind Cave's rolling prairies. Starting about a mile north of the Rankin Ridge fire tower turnoff, the trail meanders through open grasslands and a large prairie dog town, offering hikers a chance to observe these lively creatures in their natural habitat. The path gently undulates across the landscape, providing expansive views and opportunities to spot wildlife like bison and elk. The trail concludes at its junction with the Highland Creek Trail, allowing for extended hikes or a return trip through the serene prairie environment.

5.00This was very easy to use and quite informative. The turn by turn directions were spot on. We always use Viator and am looking forward to our next two tours with them in Yellowstone and Monument Valley.

5.00Well I was too late to go tour the actual cave, but I really enjoyed this audio tour about the prairie ecosystem above the caves. I saw bison and prairie dogs. Hiked the Prairie Vista and Rankin Ridge Trails. All while hearing about the history of the park.
