Saturday Snapshot 9/17: Sylvan Lake - Black Hills, SD


Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads. 

One last batch of photos from our trip to South Dakota in August. Our favorite place among so many amazing places in the beautiful Black Hills area: Sylvan Lake. Have you ever seen the movie National Treasure 2, starring Nicolas Cage?  That one scene, where Cage's character sticks his hand in the rocks and opens up a secret chamber, takes place here at Sylvan Lake, on top of these amazing rocks we love to climb on!

Beautiful Sylvan Lake

Our family - we have 5 photos from other years of this shot!

Tallest rocks around Sylvan Lake - see those tiny dots on top?

Yup, those dots way up there are our sons!

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

  1. This looks like a beautiful place. I can see why you enjoy going back there. Thanks for including your sons in the pictures of the rocks. They add perspective and make it easy to tell how tall the rocks are.

    1. The Black Hills region of South Dakota is just gorgeous, Laurel - beautiful place! We have never been to North Dakota, though - need to get up there one of these days!

    1. Thanks, Beth! With our boys older now & so busy (they are 18 and 22), we rarely get vacation time with them anymore, so this short trip was a treat!
