Where are all the Rapid City Goblins?

It's time for trick-or-treating! Get ready for those goblins and ghouls and pretty princesses that will come knocking on your door.

Still thinking about decorating for the holiday? This article at the Rapid City Journal talks about where to go and who to see for those special decorating ideas. HGTV offers some terrific decorating ideas that won't break your budget. Even more decorating ideas can be found here at about.com.

Or if you prefer, many area groups and churches hold Harvest Festivals or Trunk or Treat festivities. And, if I am not mistaken, there is a huge festival at the Rapid City Civic Center with games and treats for all. And of course there is the spooky haunted house Terror in the Dark at the Central States Fairgrounds in the Soule Building. For older kids, this is a must-do!

Today I have a terrific open house for you.

Sunday 1-3pm

23700 Mulligan Mile

HART RANCH golf course. One level living at its best! No more lawn mowing, no snow shoveling, just sit out on the deck or play golf and just relax.

Fall in the Hills

Fall time in the Black Hills will take your breath away! The most gorgeous area, Spearfish Canyon, is bursting with color from the many groves of Aspen trees that cling on the sides of the cliffs. It is well worth a Sunday afternoon to take a drive through the canyon to see the changing leaves. Bridal Veil Falls is particularly gorgeous this time of year. Look for mountain goats on the craggy cliffs -- they are often seen here.

The best website I have found that details what to see and expect in Spearfish Canyon is put together by the Spearfish Canyon Foundation. This site details the Scenic Byway, along with maps, a self-guided tour, and interactive tour map and a photo essay. The history of Spearfish Canyon is also outlined here and well-worth a read before your trek.

This website also has lots of information on Spearfish Canyon and tons of pictures sent in from readers. However, pictures don't do it justice. This is something that needs to be seen in person.

Another website with great information about Spearfish Canyon comes from GORP. This site details Road Trip Guides and the Top 10 Scenic Drives. Spearfish Canyon is certainly in MY top ten! :-) The GORP site gives a mile-by-mile play by play of what to see and expect on your drive. It is a good resource to print out and take along or pull up on your PDA while you are driving through.


Want to find out more about the city of Spearfish while you are there? Spearfish itself has a website that details information about the town and what to see and do while there.

After your drive in the hills, stop for a coffee and then come by and visit me at two open houses this Sunday:
