Morning: Start early and drive to Devils Tower National Monument. Spend a couple of hours exploring the base trail, snapping photos of the iconic monolith, and learning about the Native American legends at the visitor center.
Afternoon: Head south to the Spearfish Falls for a refreshing short hike to the cascading waterfalls, then continue to the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Overlook to enjoy panoramic views of the canyon’s towering pines and rugged cliffs.
Evening: Return to Deadwood and check in at SpringHill Suites. Relax in the hotel’s amenities, perhaps enjoy a sunset walk through the historic downtown before a comfortable night’s rest.
Find HotelsIf you have extra time, consider adding a short drive to the historic town of Deadwood for a quick lunch and a glimpse of its Wild West heritage. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the Scenic Overlook and head straight from Spearfish Falls to the hotel, saving about an hour of travel.
