Lookout Point is a 3-mile round trip through Wind Cave National Park with rolling prairie terrain, sweeping Great Plains views, and the chance to see wild bison from one of the last genetically pure herds in North America. The route follows the Centennial Trail to the overlook and back. No permit required. The hike is easy but exposed, so bring sun protection and water. Bison are wild and unpredictable, stay at least 25 yards away and give them space to move. Best in spring and fall when temperatures are mild.
