Hot Springs, SD

There are a lot of old, historical bldgs. in Hot Springs, a small town at the south end of the Black Hills. There are a few natural springs in the area, thus its name...including the hot spring that feeds the local waterslide attraction, Evan's Plunge. The Blue Bison Cafe is hard to miss with its large blue bison on top of the bldg., keeping a watchful eye on things. I haven't eaten there yet, but hope to some day.

Freedom Trail winds its way along the banks of the Fall River, passing under this wisp of a waterfall, along Hwy 385, which runs through the town. The waterfall is across the road from the cafe, above.
