- Hey everybody! We went on a little hike and thought we'd take you along with us! The Grace Coolidge Trail is located in Custer State Park and is only around 6 miles roundtrip. It's a beautiful hike through forests, streams, and granite cliffs. There are 14 stream crossings, most of which have a plank to use to cross, but some do not. We started out on this hike when it was raining and we had to turn back due to rising water levels and we didn't have our water shoes. We went back a few weeks later and hiked it with ease, and decided not to even use the planks. It's way more fun walking through the water. There was even a big surprise on the trail in the form of wildlife! You won't want to miss the awesome photos John got of this magnificent animal. We were so close to the end of this trail, but due to the wildlife, we had to turn around before getting to the very end where Center Lake and Center Lake Campground is located. We really didn't mind turning around since we have hiked this trail before. Thanks so much for watching, and we hope you enjoy the video!

The Bible clearly teaches that the moment a person trusts in Jesus to be forgiven of his sin, he is saved (Acts 2:37-41). He has passed from spiritual death to spiritual life (John 5:24) and has been declared not guilty in God's court of law (Romans 3:21-26).
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31).
The day of salvation is now (2 Corinthians 6:2).
God bless you all.
This was neat to see the contrast between the rainy day and then a beautiful sunny day. The bison photos were incredible. What a beautiful creature. Overall this looks like such a nice trail with lots of stream crossings which are probably nice in the summertime.
Thank you! We're so happy you enjoyed the video. The bison was so cool to see! And the creek crossings were a lot of fun since it was hot. It was nice we could go back and finish on a sunny day. Thanks again!
Good afternoon, my friends I’m going to sit back and watch. I know it’s going to be beautiful.
Hello dear friend! Thanks so much for watching!
Che meravigliosa escursione! ✨Ruscelli,sentieri bellissimi e poi l' incontro con il bisonte,che un po' di timore lo provoca! ✨Ma resta un animale stupendo e potente! 🤩 ✨Very beauty ✨💯
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the hike! The bison was amazing to see, and we were glad we turned around and left him be. The streams were so fun to cross. Thanks again for your lovely comments! ❤
I love that he made himself comfortable and just lay down in front of the path😂
Right?! He just plopped down in the middle of the trail and enjoyed himself. 😆
Awesome
@@DaveCollierCamping Thank you! 💗

You sure had a lot of water crossings! That buffalo was huge. Nice pictures of it. He sure directed your path on this one. God is good!
@@bestillonthetrail234 Yes, we did! Thank you! And yes! Praise the Lord for His guidance on the trail. 🥰
Nice outing guys. There sure was plenty of foot washing! That buffalo owned that trail…and was big enough to not argue with. Blessings to you guys.

Beautiful trail and views
Thank you!
Hello hiking friends. Beautiful scenery and production.
Hello! Thanks for watching, friend!
So glad you went back! That bison was majestic. Thanks for sharing!!
We are, too! We didn't want to disturb him. He was so awesome to see! You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Looks like a beautiful trail! Even with some rain
Yes, thank you! It was nice we could go back and finish in the sunshine.
Beautiful place ❤
Thanks so much!
Very nice video. The views are awesome. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing. 👍11
Thank you so much! We're so glad you liked it. Have a great week!
I usually do not start a hike in the rain. Way to brave the rain and make a return trip to finish the trail. Nicely done on capturing the beauty too. Cool to see the fish underwater. Nice to see the bison too. I would have kept my distance also. Looked like a great couple days on the trail. Well done. Have a great day.
Thanks so much! We love going rain or shine since we have rain gear. So glad you enjoyed the video! The bison was so awesome to see. Thanks again for watching! Have a great week!
Hello friend good videos friends great 👍👍 wow ♥️♥️♥️💖💗💕💞
@@KimHong-iq2ll Thanks so much! 🥰
Oh my goodness I love that you had the underwater camera how fabulous you should see it on the big screen because that’s where I watch everybody . Let me continue watching.
We have a big screen, too, and that's where we watch our videos as well. The underwater shots were so much fun and were John's idea. Thank you!
@@TheWanderingWulfs well I have to say it was a good idea John those underwater shots
Wow, absolutely beautiful video. Nice views along the way.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the hike and scenery far better than the cruise we just took. That Bison was a big boy and he let you know that was his path😂. Thanks for sharing God’s creation and hope you both have a blessed week.
Thank you! Yes, he was huge! Very cool to see! So glad you liked the hike! Have a great week! ❤
Beautiful forest and trees! Too bad about the rain the first day- the trail sure did look muddy. Beautiful sunshine on your next attempt- seemed like the perfect day. Super cool to see a bison- wow, he was big! Awesome photos! I’ve usually only seen them out in a meadow or valley, like at Yellowstone, not in the trees. Powerful to look him in the eyes! Yea, he said the trail was his that day! 👌👍👍⭐️⭐️❤️
Thank you for watching! The bison was quite a sight to behold. Yellowstone is a great place to see them, too. We're happy we could go back on a sunny day to finish this hike. ❤ Have a great week!
What an amazing encounter!! Almost as if he was inviting you over for a pat!! lol Very cool!
It was awesome! Wish we could give them pets and that they were more docile. 😆 Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This one was just a tad on the wet side,lol. That was so cool seeing the bison on the trail! Another nicely done video guys!
It sure was! The bison was amazing to see! Thanks so much, Jim!
Wow, what an experience to see the bison, a stunning creature. I was wondering what I would do if one was blocking my path, probably turn around like you did. Loved the underwater shot. 👍
Thank you! ❤ It was quite an experience for sure. Loved seeing the bison. Those underwater shots were John's idea. 😊 Thanks again for watching! -Rachel
Beautiful trail 👣 It still had quite a bit of water on the trail when you went back. The bison was impressive and those were some beautiful close up captures! 😊
Thanks so much! We really love this trail. There's so much beauty everywhere you look. This trail always has water on and around it, but there are planks you can use on every crossing except for one. We just opted to plow on through the water. 😆 More fun that way. The bison was so awesome to see! Thanks again!
Ah, more Black Hills... Awesome. None of my cameras are waterproof so I watch the forecast closely.. True hikers when the rain or high water does not stop you...
The Black Hills are so awesome, aren't they?! We love our waterproof GoPro Hero 11. It takes fantastic underwater shots. Thanks for the kind words! Have a great week!
Absolutely beautiful and of course, I will share it to my community tab because I think your videos are magnificent
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that! We love reading your wonderful comments!
@@TheWanderingWulfs you’re welcome honestly they’re beautifully made videos
Beautiful hike with lots of pretty stream crossings. Love the underwater shots. Very cool to see a bison but too bad he was enjoying your trail too much. I had a similar thing happen with a herd of elk blocking my path recently.
Thanks so much for watching! We loved those underwater shots, too. The bison was so awesome to see. It was funny that he just plopped down in the middle of the trail. 😆 We didn't mind too much, though, since we've done this trail before. Having a herd of elk on your path would be so cool, too! Thanks again! Have a great week!
Looks like you definitely got some rain and some Creek crossings in 😅👍
We sure did! Thanks for watching!
I really liked the video, I watched it until the end and subscribed ❤ 14:49
Thanks so much! ❤❤❤
What a lovely trek & video tour of gorgeous scenery 😍 What a great sighting of the buffalo too. You have a new subscriber
Thank you! We've subscribed to your channel as well. ❤
@@TheWanderingWulfs Thank you very much! 🤩
Isn’t that something you got to see the bison
Yes! It was such a fun treat on the trail! We loved seeing him! Thank you!
