SPEARFISH CANYON

There is probably no other scenic place in the Black Hills which has been given as much attention by tourists, photographers, and magazine writers as Spearfish Canyon. The Royal Gorge in Colorado, the Palisades of the Hudson and many other points of national scenic wonder may be found reproduced here on a scale perhaps less grand, but making up in beauty all that is lost in magnitude. Good automobile roads traverse long stretches of this canyon, entering it from Deadwood, and from Spearfish as platted herein. It is anticipated that in a few years the road will be made suitable for auto traffic the entire length of the canyon.
