10. Wind Cave National Park

HOT SPRINGS.   You'll find no shortage of beauty at this park, either above ground or below. Up top, forest and prairies cover 28,000+ acres of terrain and play home to everything from prairie dogs to bison and coyotes. Miles of well-maintained hiking trails are also available. Down under, extensive caverns tempt visitors to stare in awe at rock and mineral formations, an underground lake, and other attractions. Discovered in 1881, Wind Cave was declared a national park in 1903. A variety of tours lets you experience the caverns according to your degree of interest.   (© 10Best)
