Itinerary description

|
Show original
It is the highest peak in South Dakota, at 2272m. The route is not hard, it is for everyone and the views will impress you.

The route starts from Sylvan Lake and runs under the shade of the forest for most of the route until reaching the rocky part of the summit, where it gets a little steep, but anyone with the desire can reach it.

At the top there is a watchtower that is open and it is possible to climb it and enjoy the views.
