Custer Skywalk
The Custer Skywalk is a series of short trails with great views overlooking the town of Custer.
Park at Harbach Park in Custer, just 2 blocks off Main Street. The path is a dirt/small gravel trail that has stairs built into the hillside. There are a couple of different trails to take - one leading to an observation point that goes to the left and one leading to the Big Rock Observation Point that goes to the right. From the observation point you will have a pretty 360 degree view of Custer and the surrounding area. You will be able to see Black Elk Peak (formerly known as Harney Peak), the Needles, Buckhorn Mountain, Calamity Peak, and Mount Coolidge Fire Lookout. While up there you can also walk over to the Custer sign which is pretty cool.

Lots and lots of stairs.
