A Day in Custer
Breakfast: Miner’s Cup
If you’re craving a coffee or a quick bite for breakfast, hit up Miner’s Cup. They serve classic coffee drinks like mochas, lattes and americanos, but they also have energy spritzers and smoothies for sweeter caffeine delivery. If you’re just in it for the food, you can channel your inner miner with a Prospector, Blacksmith or Gold Digger sandwich. It is drive-up and walk-up window only.
Morning Adventure: Custer State Park
Minutes from town, Custer State Park is a nature-lovers paradise. Within the park’s expansive 71,000 acres are mountain lakes, campgrounds, endless trails and 1,400 free-roaming bison. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can spend a few hours hiking to the top of Black Elk Peak, the highest point east of the Rockies.
Lunch: The Custer Wolf
After a morning of hiking and trailblazing, you’ll definitely need something to eat. The Custer Wolf is a gastropub guaranteed to extinguish your hunger. Try the fish and chips, they’re a local favorite.
