The Needles Highway is a particularly scenic part of
South Dakota State Highway 87 running through Custer State Park.
Check out Threading the Needles Highway for more of
my photos and a story about this beautiful byway.
Meanwhile, here are a few more photos from the
beautiful Needles Highway in South Dakota that didn’t make it into my original
blog post.
Thanks to Debbie Dubrow of Delicious Baby for
creating and coordinating Photo Friday to link travel photos and blog posts
across the Web.

It looks like it would be good hiking around there. Cool pictures.

You know, I think South Dakota gets a bad rap, but it is a beautiful state. I've been there many times on the drive between MN and WY, and I've always enjoyed it.
Gorgeous photos!
Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Carolina-I wish we'd had more time here to explore trails. It's somewhere we plan to return as soon as we can do so.
Angela-Happy Valentines Day to you, too! We're north right now...a little getaway that was our trip to ourselves for the holiday.
South Dakota and North Dakota were definitely pleasant surprises when we drove through. We didn't plan much time in those two states, but left with the feeling that we want to plan an entire trip just doing the Dakotas.
Jessie-It was such a perfect day for taking photos. These photos of the Needles and my Mount Rushmore pix had the beautiful and clear blue skies. If only every day was as perfect for photo taking!
Debbie-Think nice thoughts about the Midwest. We have a lot of great places here, and you should definitely visit...several times!
