It's barely autumn, officially, but here in W. South Dakota, autumn is very short-lived unfortunately. Winter hogs the show...anyway, Sat. was supposed to be "the" day to see the colors in the canyon but the Huz had to work so we took a drive on Sun., a blustery, overcast morning...
Bridal Veil Falls can be seen from the road through the canyon...the fall colors came on strong during the 2 1/2 weeks I was gone...
Fall colors from the roadside traveling down the canyon...
A double-seated bench by Spearfish Creek, behind Spearfish Canyon Lodge about halfway down the canyon, in Savoy...
Another bench along the creek behind SC Lodge...the sun was trying to come out...
