WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK, S.D. - Visitors to Wind Cave National Park this summer have the chance to see black-footed ferrets at night.

To mark the one-year anniversary of the reintroduction of the creatures to the Black Hills park, rangers are offering night hikes through prairie dog towns in hopes of seeing the rare animal.

The program starts at Elk Mountain Campground at 9 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday through Aug. 16.

After a brief presentation, the group will caravan to a nearby prairie dog town where rangers will lead the group across the prairie.
