Custer Peak, South Dakota
Steven Dutch, Professor Emeritus, Natural and Applied Sciences, Universityof Wisconsin - Green Bay

Custer Peak is easily recognized by its conical shape |
 |
The road is very steep in places (25% grades and more.) |
 |
Custer Peak owes its prominence to a small rhyolite intrusive. Near the summit it has crude columnar jointing. |
