My husband lived in Rapid City, SD during his high school years and found this gem. It’s more of an outdoor walk than a hike, but I’ve included it here because the payoff is incredible.
You walk only a quarter mile east from the Falling Rock trailhead to a grand lookout over Rapid Creek. This gives you spectacular view of Dark Canyon, a beautiful canyon just outside Rapid City off Rimrock Scenic highway. Be sure to hike to the second lookout further to the northeast as it offers more perspectives of the high canyon walls surrounding the creek. It’s a breathtaking way to spend a short stop to stretch your legs! |
