A photo tour of the northern Black Hills at the end of March

While it’s probably not quite over, winter is on the way out, and we’re in a transitional period here in the northern Black Hills.  There’s still enough snow around to make hiking and biking somewhat difficult, though we did notice this morning that the grass in our front yard is turning green and there are buds on one of our trees.  Saturday afternoon we decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather, but due to the amount of snow that’s still up in the hills, we ended up doing a driving tour of Spearfish Canyon, Terry Peak and the Wharf open pit gold mine.  Here are some photos from that tour.

Lost Cabin Trail #2

During Sturgis Rally week we braved the traffic and ventured down to the Harney Peak area for some hiking on Lost Cabin Trail #2.  Cool trail, great views, plenty of raspberries, and the moonrise over Harney Peak.  Enjoy.

Old Baldy trail

Old Baldy trail is one of the sweetest trails in the northern Black Hills, with incredible scenery, lots of variety, and some great mountain biking.  On the afternoon of July 31 my friend Drew and I gave it a whirl, documented in the following photos.
