Earlier this Fall we spent a day driving through the lovely Spearfish Canyon in search of pretty leaves and also two stops/hikes we hadn't done before -- to Community Caves and Spearfish Falls. The day did not disappoint. We found and thoroughly enjoyed both.
Community Caves is a short but seriously steep scramble/hike up a wash of loose rocks. Mabel did a fantastic job and we were pleasantly surprised by how large the caves were once we arrived. Afterwards, the much easier hike to Spearfish Falls was welcome and the change in scenery made it feel like we were somewhere completely different world even though we'd only driven a few miles in between them.

The hike up!

Luke was first to the top - of course!

Our usual picnicing spot didn't have any parking spots available, so we found a beautiful place along the road to have our lunch.
