On Monday morning we made the trek west of Spearfish, SD to hike the Old Baldy trail. It is a loop trail that is very different from most of our hikes. Number 1, cows are in the area and 2, you are hiking in grass and forest, not negotiating rocks. The morning was beautiful and my primary regret is that I didn't take any pictures of all the downed trees. This area had a tornado and along with Spearfish Canyon suffered the loss of hundreds of trees. We were amazed at the size of the downed trees and the effort that went into clearing the trail so it could be used.
Yes, these are our fall colors, we don't have the variety of colors but the yellow and green is beautiful.
I have no idea what these signs mean so please comment below if you do.
Our fall color is about 50% of peak. Forecast is that peak color will arrive September 29 which is when this post should publish.
Summit view from Old Baldy. Not sure where the name came from because there are trees all around the summit. It is not "bald."
