Next up, we drove north from Custer towards the town of Spearfish, SD. This was one of my favorite parts of the whole trip. We rented a little cabin (RimRock Lodge) for a couple nights and explored the area. Spearfish Canyon is one of the best recreation sites in the Black Hills -- there's loads of waterfall hikes, bike trails, and fishing. We started out the day by hiking up to Roughlock Falls, which was gorgeous and crystal clear.

Later that day, we road the Big Hill mountain bike trails. I'm definitely used to rocky desert riding, so I loved the swoopy, tree-lined dirt trails. Some of the uphills were nasty lung-busters, but the downhills were worth it. :)

Spearfish is also a surprisingly fun town. There's a low-key outdoorsy college vibe and some great restaurants. We had sourdough-crust pizza for dinner at the Dough Trader, then grabbed a few beers at the Crow Peak Brewing Company. The Pile O' Dirt Porter was supertasty.
