Hot Springs, SD

We visited the wonderful South Dakota town of Hot Springs. If you are a walker, miles of paved trail and hundreds of steps. Numerous places to eat and you are still early enough in the tourist season that you don't have to wait. We spent nearly 3 hours at the Mammoth Site. What a great experience, Over 60 mammoth's have been uncovered and the site is only about 1/3 excavated. Pictures included below.

Picture directly above shows you the imprint and impact of a mammoth walking directly toward you.

Interesting that all the mammoths uncovered have been young males. I guess they weren't too different from many young males I have known.
