Custer's Snow Camp was named for a unexpected snowstorm that dropped 6 inches of white sloppy snow on May 3, 1876 delaying Custer and his men for two days.
Nice piece of history and never a lot of traffic. Beautiful place to visit
Neat to see and there’s a huge petrified tree right above/behind it that’s not mentioned. That made it extra awesome plus the scenery is beautiful. It’s out in the boonies but there’s still a nice parking area and bathroom! I was surprised by that. I went in early winter with little snow so it was an easy drive but if it’s at all wet or raining I probably wouldn’t recommend trying to go, the roads get awful nasty. Also don’t try to drive across the creek right past the parking lot if there’s a puddle, it’s much deeper than you’d think and it’s a long walk to help.
