South Dakota Trip - Part Three

Deadwood and Devil's Tower all in one day!

If I was going to subtitle this day of the trip, I would call it “Deadwood: Not What You Expect.” We split this day between a trip into Wyoming to Devils Tower and wandering the streets of Deadwood, South Dakota. Lots of car time and some light hiking to recover from the day before so we would be fresh for the Badlands the following day.

Just look at that sky. I imagine living around here you would get used to it, but as someone who spends most of their days in cities, it catches the breath.

Everyone has to take a selfie before the Tower. I think it is a rule of the park.

Deadwood was so weird. I think I expected something a little more historical in nature, but really it was as if the town still served it’s purpose as a gambling trap for miners, only with slot machines.
