The atmosphere was cozy, service was excellent and the food was delicious. The grilled cheese sandwich was larger enough for two, the chicken fried steak will add 5lbs to your belt line, the club was flavorful, French Dip was dripping with melty cheese and debris, and the calamity sandwich was excellent, really enjoyed the added flavors brought in with the use of green chili's to the spread. Warmed up next to the fireplace with a nice cup of hot chocolate before heading back onto the trails. A must stop if your out riding in the hills!

It's a must try,if you like scallops..also we were very impressed with their generous servings and wine pours..oh yes !! and do try the Buffalo Stew...very very good...if you're in the area drive up the canyon and treat yourself to a great meal and beautiful scenery.

With years of fitness experience and having owned a CrossFit gym, I can confidently say this place is for everyone--regardless of age, experience, or goals.From high level athletes, to people who have never worked out. From the young, to those experienced at life. There is a place for everyone. I came back to Sturgis CrossFit after several injuries and feeling disconnected from CrossFit. I started with the Wirk program, which was an incredible way to refocus on nutrition and health before stepping back into the gym. Be ready, though. Ready for a group of people who won't just take your money but will genuinely care about keeping you on track--whether that means helping with nutrition, mental health, or just showing up for you in ways you can't yet imagine. Not looking for deep connections? Just need a great workout? They've got you covered. But I dare you not to fall in love with the people, the coaches, and the community. This isn't just a gym. It's a place that changes everything--for your body, your mindset, and your life. Give them a chance, and they'll prove it.

We are visiting the Black Hills in our motorhome and had originally reserved a car through a large…read morenational car rental agency. Long story, but were told that we had no car. When we got to our campground, Steel Wheel, we saw a Jeep with a "Rent Me" sign on it and the little portable office for Mad Peak Rentals. So off I went to inquire about the Jeep. Turns out that renting it was going to be cheaper than going through the other agency and we didn't have to drive 45 minutes to get it -- we simply walked down from our campsite and picked it up! We had a blast driving it up and down the roads! The other thing we wanted to do was ride the Mickelson Trail, a nationally known bike trail. Well, we thought we'd be camped right next to it but it turned out that we were several miles from it and riding to the trailhead would have been dangerous. So once again the folks at Mad Peak came to our rescue and offered to shuttle us to the trailhead and pick us up when we were done. These folks go the extra mile, both literally and figuratively, and can't be beat. They truly made our visit to the Black Hills one to remember.

If you're driving through Spearfish Canyon and don't stop at Bridal Veil Falls, what are you even…read moredoing? This is hands down one of the easiest--and most rewarding--waterfalls you'll ever visit. The falls drop about 60 feet straight down a dramatic canyon wall, and the best part? You can literally park right next to it. No hike, no sweating, no "is this worth it?" moment halfway in--just instant payoff. What makes this spot hit even harder is the setting. Spearfish Canyon is already unreal, with towering limestone cliffs, winding roads, and dense forest. Then you turn a corner and boom--waterfall just casually existing like it's no big deal. We loved how accessible it is, but it still feels wild and natural. You can walk right up to the base, feel the mist, and take it all in without dealing with huge crowds (depending on timing). Pro tip: if you can, hit this spot in the fall or winter. Fall brings insane colors, and winter turns the waterfall into this massive frozen ice wall that looks straight up fake. Quick stop, huge payoff. Easily one of the best roadside attractions in South Dakota. Follow us for more hidden gems on our socials @reessroots

There are two ways to get to the falls. 1) park at the trail head and make your way up ~1 mile or 2) drive up above the falls where there is a short accessible path with lookout. The view from the top aren't great but at that location you can walk down a paved path (although steep and not accessible) to the bottom of the falls. This is the view you want! The falls aren't the highest but at the pool they then separate out in multiple paths over moss covered rocks. The stream is completely clear and you can easily see fish which is great for little ones to look for. This is a must do for anyone driving through spearfish.
