What a beautiful drive through the canyon and stop for pie and coffee at the end of the canyon. Well worth the visit.

The ride along Alt US 14 through Spearfish canyon is one of the most beautiful rides in the Black Hills area and should be viewed riding from both directions. One of the nicest areas for a photo opportunity is Bridal Veil Falls, you can safely park your motorcycle or car across the road and walk over to the observation platform for a view or picture of the falls. At the south end of Spearfish Canyon at the intersection of US 85 is Cheyenne Crossing that has a wonderful restaurant and gift shop - a must stop!

The Spearfish canyon changes dramatically with each season change. My husband and I like to take a drive up at least once a month. There are many hiking trails, and fishing spots, as well as some great climbing and in the winter you can ice climb Bridal Veil Falls. Really beautiful.

I get through Spearfish, Deadwood and the area two or three times a year. I had some time to take this drive during the winter on the way up to Spearfish Canyon Lodge. A creek runs along the road and there are water falls to see right from the side of the road. It is not far off the beaten path and has unique scenery one wouldn't think were in the area. This is a great road for a cyclist. If you have time take a detour and enjoy the ride.

We spent 3 nights at the Wickiup Village aka Spearfish Creek Cabins about 5 years ago. Beautiful country and great accommodations. We liked it so much, that we're holding our family reunion here in July 2015. There's no place like the Black Hills - and this is a terrific home base - 2, 4, and 6 people cabins, a play area, covered pavilion for gathering/eating, and a big fire pit - not to mention that Spearfish Creek runs right beside you!

We had time to spare so we decided to take a drive. Did some trail hikes.It's a very short ride from town an there are several trails which lead you to the falls. The waterfalls are awesome.

I take multiple trips up to the canyon every year. It is a very beautiful and popular place. It is one of my favorite locations in the hills and I would love to get lost in it. Rough lock falls is my fiance and I's top places to go in Spearfish. We love it and everyone else does too!

The visit was during a very warm spell in November making it very pleasant to walk around exploring nature. The roads were freshly sanded making it an easy drive. The frozen waterfalls drew me in as did walking through the dry river beds. The time spent was quiet and peaceful, a perfect Sunday morning with nature.

The road down the canyon is twisty, turny and full of little visual surprises. Following the creek was fun after a long day of driving on the flat parts of Dakotas. The canyon is a lovely respite and a wonderful drive. There are several places to pull over and stroll a bit. No traffic during our visit. Its a lovely part of the world.

Spearfish Canyon drive is an easy and lovely trip near Deadwood, SD. The canyon is striking and historical, having been the site of a dam that provided hydroelectricity for the gold mines in nearby Lead. An easy trip that takes only a couple of hours from either Deadwood or Lead.

We took walk through canyon to falls, it was beautiful and worth trail to Roughlock falls, not the drive and it was SPECTACULAR

This is the place for anyone who loves spectacular dramatic scenery. We could not take it all in on one drive and went back several times during our stay. Bridal Veil Falls is can be seen from the road. A return visit is definitely planned.

They were not helpful at all-wanted to have my wedding there and had to call n email 5 times for someone to call me back. Not worth the hassle opposite of what wedding should feel like. Extremely disappointed

One of the outstanding drives in America! Take the time and spend half a day. Every turn was something new and exciting and the vistas were great. Well worth the time!

If you are visiting the Black Hills, I highly recommend you drive through Spearfish Canyon. It is absolutely stunning with some short hikes that you can do. We did the Roughlock falls hike - it's very short and waterfall is beautiful. This is where the scene from Dancing of the wolves movie was shot. We visited at the very beginning of September 2014 and there were hardly any people there. A good place to escape the crowds. We stopped here on our way to Deadwood. Allow 2-3 hours.
