Fall leaves, Big Sioux State Recreation Area

AUTUMN SPLENDOR

 

From the serene woodlands along the Big Sioux River to the forested hills of Sica Hollow State Park, splashes of color melt through green landscape. As fall transforms South Dakota's mountains and prairies, the sumac-laced bluffs along the mighty Missouri River and the brilliant, aspen-dotted Spearfish Canyon are among the many special places enchanting those with eyes open to the highlights.
