We started the day with a plan to hike around Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park. On the way, we pulled into a scenic overlook in the park and took a short hike from there. I couldn't find it on my AllTrails app, so I didn't get "credit" for it, but it was a fun hike. We continued on to Sylvan Lake for a one-mile walk around the lake. The first part was easy, but the back side of the hill was more up and down and scrambling over rocks. But rewarding, because there were two waterfalls. We then drove the length of Needles Highway, a 14-mile scenic drive with several one-lane tunnels, switchbacks and high overlooks. Needles Highway runs into Iron Mountain Road, more of the same but with even more switchbacks, "pigtail bridges" that go in circles, and incredible views of Mount Rushmore.
