Spearfish Canyon, Black Hills, South Dakota 

Spearfish Canyon is one of our favorite places. It looks like some people have already mentioned Devil's Bathtub, too. It's a short one mile hike. From where you were in that parking lot, you just have to walk down a short ways to get to the trailhead. You cross the creek multiple times until you get to a swimming area with a natural slide, and that's Devil's Bathtub. It's pretty cool. 😍

My favorite time to travel through Spearfish Canyon is in the early morning. Sunup with the sun hitting spots along the way is stunning and beautiful. The best part. No traffic. I don’t go to the Black Hills during rally time in August. Too noisy.

Most people pan way too fast yet your deliberate pan and tilts do not let the viewer get confused. Especially loved the wildlife portions and the stunning scenery. Both you and Abby are enthusiastic.

From what I’ve heard Spearfish Falls is spring-fed, so unlike most waterfalls the water volume is pretty consistent throughout the summer.

South Dakota was really pretty the black heels love the waterfalls for sure it is beautiful take care of my friends can't wait to the next video for sure it's really been enjoyable God bless🙏 I love the music in the videos as well👍

Life goal: find you a girl that looks at you like Abby looks at Adam

Great job! Love real time, real people videos.

Thanks for coming to South Dakota and filming your adventure. I noticed you were at Devil's Bathtub next time when your here for a week fallow the trail of the creek there is a hike to get to it but the Bathtubs everyone swims in you will know your there when you see giant rock pools that look like circle tubs the kids and adults alike swim there... Also, take one morning to drive from Spearfish to Lead at 10am speed limit or slower and turn up the music or not and watch the Sun come up over the Hills it's magical at the 10am start don't stop and get out just drive and watch ... It's crazy that a camera or video does it no justice to it's true beauty ... You did a wonderful job Thank You so Muches

There is a horseshoe-shaped waterfall in Spearfish canyon that has a grotto in the middle of it with lots of smallish rocks you can stand on (the water is COLD). My friends Mark and Lynn got married there in the early '90s.

spent a lot of time in the canyon after my senior year as i was raised in Belle Fourche 10 miles away

Greg from northern Michigan. Thanks for including us on your well earned vacation. Your excitement (especially Abby's) about the wonders of nature is contagious !

That was awesome. Loved the waterfalls. Amazing !

Check out the National Fish Hatchery in Spearfish...some monster trout there. They call it Leed vs Lead....from a mining term

Absolutelty incredible! I’ve done Colorado so many times, as well as Nebraska, never the dakotas. Some friends tell me the dakotas have the best indigenous trout streams for fly fishing.

Nice place. My dad was born in Spearfish in 1932. I have been there a couple times. Beautiful spot. Have fun.

What a great day guys! lotsa stuff to do around the Black Hills!

The Black Hills, Pa Sappa, is the cosmic epicenter for the Ogala people. The area was ceded to them in perpetuity, until gold was discovered there. Then the white man took it. They have been trying to get it back ever since. Mt Rushmore is the home of the Great Spirit. It is a beautiful place

Awesome, breathtaking views even the little towns on the way are nice places to see. Thanks for posting.

Very beautiful place, great filming. There is a falls about that same size here by my home that is not commercialized. In other words, all the trails to it are natural trails made by usage over time. And the falls are open where you can walk into the water or get behind the fall. The other day I was leaving out of my home down the gravel road and there was a turkey in the road. I slowed to let her cross but she just stood there. I lowered my window and pulled up beside her. She looked up at me and gobbled. Nature is so awesome. All that to say, slow down, look at what is around you and enjoy the wonders of His beautiful work.

We rode through there on a motorcycle back in '06 it was just as beautiful then as it is here on your video. Y'all have fun!

I have watched several of your videos and you do a good job. My wife and I just returned from that area and we are already talking about going back. If you haven't already been to the needles and tunnels make time for that drive. Just a word of caution don't take the camper. The smallest tunnel is only 8'4" wide. Keep up the good work.

Long time Abom subscriber. Welcome to our state of SD!

The diversion dam at the begining of the video is for the power house by the devil's bathtub trailhead parking lot. You must come back at this time of year for the fall colors in Spearfish Canyon. My wife and two daughters and the boyfreind of one went driving in the canyon Saturday. Beautiful fall colors. Have a great day from Belle Fourche.

Super good job on filming, got to see the trout swimming, made me hungry. Fresh fish, taters and eggs on a cold crisp morning around a campfire with your wife cannot be beat !! Thanks for sharing with us Adam and Abby, stay safe. Fred . 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

I am so very much enjoying your travelogue… and thinking about how my wife and I could have these types of adventures

Put your polarized sun glasses in front of the lens. Then rotate it.

Love the hair cut Adam, I have a similar hairstyle. That was a beautiful video guys!!! Thank for sharing you journey 🥰👏👏👏👏👏🍺🍺😎😎🇬🇧

Just a point of reference... "Lead", the town name, is pronounced by the locals as "Leed", not "Led". No biggie, but you know, might just as well let you know. You should ride the Monkey in Sturgis and be a biker dude! Have fun!

Thanks for sharing!

Abom how about some more cooking , love your grilling shots.

This is really is a beautiful country we live in. Maybe if more people could see it’s sites and wonders like you folks are doing we’d take better care of it. I’ll stop there so not to get political on this great channel

Confluence of those two creeks😎🇺🇸

Another thing no one talks about when walking all these trails is you have zero chance running into a bear along the way. No fear of getting attacked and eaten in the Black Hills because there aren’t any bears.

Hope you are enjoying

It looks like you folks are having a great time - enjoy! I've been to SD a few times, but I'm in Colorado. If you make it down here you should check our Rifle Falls state Park It has a waterfall similar to the first one you stopped at. If you like historical buildings and don't mind a 4WD road, then the Crystal City Power Plant is a must see - it's outside Marble CO. They were generating power there back in the late 1800's.

If you want to look through the water with your camera you need a polarisation filter, I allways have one on my camera because its also a very useful protection for my lenses

Such pretty country. Thank you for sharing.

Lov the camera on the truck,,,make one fill like they are there riding along. The Black Hills will be white in a month with first snow falls in mid October,, (@@)! Thxfor the ride along,

WOW great video-not as crowded as Colorado !

If you want to see some good falls, come stay in Oconee, SC and you'd be within driving distance of many beautiful falls. There is a Bridal vail falls near Highlands, NC that is a roadside attraction that you can walk under. It is beautiful and looks like a bride's dress train because I think of a vail being over a brides face. I guess Bridal Vail sounds better. Then there is Brasstown falls and White Water Falls. Also others.

A beautiful day! 🇺🇸

Love Spearfish Canyon. There is a very nice City run Campground in Spearfish.

I miss roughlock falls. I really miss walking around in the water as a kid.

"BE NICE OR GO AWAY" I think you both can stay....

I think there is a video or series of videos I watched a few years ago of them removing the dam right there where you opened the video and restoring the river back to an original condition. You might want to check them out some time if you are in to that kind of thing. Hope y'all are enjoying your trip. Abby sure does seem to like the dinosaurs ;)

Excellent video photography !

Awesome video really enjoyed!

Hey guys, love your videos!! We are heading up there this weekend and was curious as to the route you took to see all the waterfalls? Also being from Omaha NE, I can agree that Around the Bend has some of the best steaks in the area!!

Nice!!

Devils bathtub refers to the pool at the top of hike which also has a Very smooth rock formation used as water slide into the “devils bathtub”,

We hope you go thru "Shell" on the way thru to Yellowstone -- that's a Tripp. :)

devils' bath tub is a little hike from where you were its a swimming hole with a natural slide

Absolutely Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cool trips.

I notice that you are missing NY from your sticker collection. You might want to check out these waterfalls Watkins Glenn State Park; Taughannock Falls State Park; Letchworth State Park.

He adam I hope that you head on over to fireball tool he is in the Spokane area maybe a shop tour ?

Lol try getting that close to a Turkey with a shotgun. You will go hungry . 😂

Great Vid.

Y’all missed the best part of roughlock falls

Thanks

the old ram going need a oil chang soon

it probably was mentioned a million times before, but there are sections in your videos - both here and on abom79 - that have sound only in the left channel/ear. I don't know if it is some camera setting or some sloppy editing, but it sounds pretty terrible in headphones.

Sure would nice to see some the restaurants you guys been going to

you have to hike a ways to get to the tub

DAYUM bro !! LMBO a head like that u need 2 hats!!! Joke!!!💯👍😁

Are you pulling your camper?

we used to be able to go behind the falls, but not anymore because of people leaving trash behind!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, there's some pretty neat shit in this country once you step out outside of the confines of Florida. There are 47 other states in the continental us that **aren't** Florida. and, get this, **history** happened elsewhere!

any Minute Man videos coming up?

where is your trailer ?

forgetting things... you're getting old Adam.

Do you have to scrub bus off the monkey much? lol

👋👋👋👀👀👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☕️☕️☕️

About the Devil's Bathtub, the cynic in me speculates that the mining company was dumping their waste in the creek...

Please fix the mono audio issue... it's getting really annoying. Thanks for the great videos though! Love them.
