We bookended our trip with Brian's college roomate and his family (Dan, Cara, Brady, & Ellie) in Denver, and also visited with Dan's parents.
For five days and four nights we stayed in Spearfish Canyon Lodge on the western edge of South Dakota, and mini-hiked with Sarah's college roommate, Julia, who lives in the Black Hills.
We daytripped to Mount Rushmore (Rapid City, SD), Devils Tower (Wyoming), and Deadwood, SD.
We were a group of 13: Brian, Sarah, and Dorothy Jane; Brian's parents (Marilyn & Chuck); Brian's brother and family (Matt, Katie, Erik, & Ellie); and Katie's family (mother Lynn, aunt Sharon, father Mike, and brother Dave).
