Snowy day at Mount Rushmore

We saw Mount Rushmore earlier in the week and it was sunny. Went back a few days later it snowed. We went back to Mount Rushmore. Was foggy and snowy.

Snow in the Black Hills

As we were walking around the rental cabin, every couple of minutes clumps of snow would cascade off of tree branches.

Early snowfall in the Black Hills, SD

Woke up to snow in the Black Hills in late September. About three inches blanketed the area. Even though it was too early for snow in our book, it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful.

Bear Butte

We spoke with a Native American who was working at the park. He said technically this should be called Bear Mountain because it is not a butte. Buttes have flat tops.
