SPEARFISH CANYON

Bridal Falls at the Spearfish Creek.
 After our time in Deadwood, we drove to the famous Spearfish Canyon, following Spearfish Creek all the way up the mountain. The drive was comfortable and the vistas stunning.
The rock formations form a wonderful contrast with the solid green evergreens.

The vistas along the creek were unbelieveable.
Turmoil and fast water make the creek exciting.

Another vista.

Bluffs along the canyon with many aspen turning color.

On the way to Deadwood, we saw the beginnings of the roundup. Returning to Newcastle, we saw the cows and calves all coralled up ready to be taken back to the farmstead.

The cattle were rounded up by horse and by 4 wheeled ATVs.

  1. The last picture reminds me of when I branded cattle in Colorado. Hard work!
