Roughlock Falls

Sunday we cruised up Spearfish Canyon, which is one of my favorite drives in the Black Hills, to meet my cousins at Roughlock Falls. The years have changed the site a bit. Beautiful picnic areas and walkways are in stark contrast to the dirt trails that used to wind around the falls which we could hike at our own risk. As a result the falls look a bit different with the return of vegetation along the shoreline.

Roughlock Falls still looks splendid.




Of course, no picnic is complete without...

the boys blowing smoke...


yummy watermelon...


a bit o' horseplay...


puppy love...


a steep, muddy trail...


peaceful moments...


and a little nap...

Happy Father's Day!
