Powerful and Beautiful Storm Clouds at Sunset outside of Sioux Falls, South Dakota during Summer
Powerful and Beautiful Storm Clouds at Sunset outside of Sioux Falls, South Dakota during Summer
The Sioux Falls Park in downtown Sioux Falls is a beautiful park. The stone around the falls is beautiful (a bit reminiscent of Northern Ireland) and there are paths and trails and bridges all around the water. It’s a fun place to explore - even on a rainy afternoon.
Pipestone National Monument is an incredible place. The historical and spiritual significance of the site is palpable. A place of deep reverence and peace. Visit when the sun is low in the west, lighting up the quartzite cliffs as they rise from the vast golden prairie surrounding them.

The bedsheets definitely were not clean. Behind the shower curtains had a previously used towel. The toilet had urine on the back of the seat. Had hairs along the shower walls. They literally went in and made the beds and called it good.

Everything was in good working order. The setting on top of the hill with the Sioux River is so beautiful. Also, the eagles caught the attention of our grandchildren. Great place to take a family for some rest and relaxation!
