Fall Is Here And These Are The 7 Best Places To See The Changing Leaves In South Dakota

Do you think this famous canyon (and these famous falls) are amazing in the summer? Think again, as they manage to come to life even more in the fall with its surrounding reds, yellows, and oranges.

One of the most historic towns in SoDak is also one of the most beautiful, thanks to Deadwood's Black Hills location and its ample trees and lush forest setting.

You know Pierre as being the capital city and for having 14,000 of the friendliest residents, but did you also know that the town that is "On The River-On The Move" is also one of the best places for fall foliage? (If you need more proof than just this colorful photo, go see it for yourself... you won't be disappointed!)

South Dakota's Pinnacles Overlook is also the pinnacle of fall, thanks to the vastness of the dramatic Badlands mixed with the vibrantly-colored landscape.

C'mon... you knew we couldn't do a "Best of South Dakota" list without paying homage to THE Mount Rushmore! Like Deadwood, Mount Rushmore is nestled away in the Black Hills, which pretty much guarantees that they will have the best colors in the entire state.

Like Spearfish Canyon, the incredible Falls Park somehow manages to become even more beautiful come autumn. (I know this picture may not seem like much, but it is truly something that everyone NEEDS to see and experience in person!)

Last but certainly not least is Custer State Park; South Dakota's first and largest state park that not only boasts a fascinating history (after all, it was named after George Armstrong Custer), but 71,000 acres of bright trees, shrubs, and prairie grasslands.
