                                        This time of year, you can be sure that Spearfish Canyon will be dusted with a blanket of snow and the slopes of Black Hills National Forest will be primed and ready for winter sports. But there’s more to a winter road trip to South Dakota than what’s expected. Plan on pleasant surprises around every corner in these areas across the state.
