A winding dirt road bends through a forested valley beneath the granite spires of the Needles Highway in Custer State Park, Black Hills, South Dakota. The caption calls the road "one of the world's wonders in road engineering" and notes that the climb to the top is gradual and without hazard. The Needles Highway, completed in the early 1920s, was built to carry visitors through the park's rock formations.
