Sacred Vista: Lookout from Ludlow Cave
This was a stop in a once-in-a-lifetime hike, exploring caves and buttes of the North Cave Hills of Custer National Forest in rural Harding County, South Dakota. The view looking out from the opening of Ludlow Cave is not just stunning; it is a sacred area to multiple Native Americans, believed to be the birthplace of their peoples. Standing here was a reminder to us of the smallness of us as humans and the vastness and power of this earth.
