This small town is constantly ranked one of the top places to go to this fall season, and there’s a good reason for that. Other than being historically charming and full of things to do and see within the town itself, the surrounding area is absolutely stunning this time of year. You might have guessed it already: Spearfish, South Dakota. There is no denying that it is the perfect autumn destination, and the only way to truly experience it is to visit yourself.
Bring your camera for this trip – you’ll be glad you did!

The town itself is full of plenty of things to see and do.
Jimmy Emerson/Flickr Spearfish has been around since 1877 and is full of local culture. Only about 9,000 residents live there today, but it draws thousands more to see both the delightful town and the breathtakingly gorgeous natural surroundings.
Consider visiting the historic Matthews Opera House (you can see it in the picture above), Termesphere Gallery, the Spirit of the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, or simply stroll through the town streets and take in the sights. If you’re looking for a place to stop and eat while you’re there, try The Bay Leaf Cafe.
This area of the Black Hills is simply perfect in the fall in every way.
