Spearfish Canyon is presently at 73% of its peak fall colors. The Canyon is embracing its autumnal splendor in full force, just as the first official day of fall arrives. As you enter the Canyon on 14A from Spearfish, look southeast to a patch of bright green and yellow leaves cascading down the hillside across the parking lot from the Scenic Byway Information area.

Fall hues are becoming more vivid in Spearfish Canyon, where the foliage is now at 50% towards its peak colors. Fog was heavy in the City of Spearfish this morning. As I entered the Scenic Byway, it was almost like a veil was pulled away. The fog lifted revealing deeper lime green, golden, and ruby shades I had not yet seen in the Canyon this season.
