We took a couple of very short hikes in Spearfish Canyon today to a couple of waterfalls. The canyon reminds me of the Rocky Mountains, only quite a bit smaller. It’s quite lovely. The drive is windy, scenic and gorgeous. The water in the creek cooled us on a hot day and was visually appealing. The trails were accessible and not very long – and neither of the places we were had crowds. My cousin Robb calls this place Paradise and it’s easy to see why.
