One of our favorite hikes in the Black Hills is the Spring Creek Trail. A hiker experiences 3 bridge crossings, beautiful rock formations, the perfect flowing mountain creek, and you end up at Sheridan Lake. The hike is fairly easy as long as narrow stream crossings don't bother you. We left on the Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. with the temperature still in the 30s so the narrow bridges were frost covered. We also were ahead of the weekend hikers who usually inhabit this trail.
Frost covered but passable for the confident hiker.
Sheridan Lake, this "lake" was formed when the CCC built the earthen dam I was standing on to take the picture. Yes, there was a town here in the early 1930s and it now sits at the bottom of the lake.
We found out there is another route to follow so next time we'll be making a loop.
