Scenic Spearfish Canyon Drive - Bridal Veil Falls - HWY 14A

[@thomascampbell1267]

Great ride along. Only a person from the desert South West can enjoy the clear water, green landscape and summer flowers. Great shots with the drone. It is worth every penny you spent on it.

[@judyabernathy80]

Beautiful scenery and water falls!

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@libmathis1007]

Love this...wish l was there....

[@alexmobil7463]

What a unique place this Black Hills area! Looks indeed like the Black Forest which we got here in Germany. I wish i could get a ride there with a convertible! That is called , wishful thinking. Keep on tracking Russ!

[@jaymar3295]

Beautiful scenery! Thank you for video. Can't travel anymore so this is the next best thing! Blessings and take care!

[@preciousnic1974]

There is also a Bridal Veil Falls in Utah. There was a sky tram that took people up to the top of the steep mountain but the base was destroyed by an avalanche and never was rebuilt. The base had been damaged many times before but the last avalanche was the worst one. Quite an extensive history. It is located close to Provo, Utah.

[@trudytrowbridge8268]

Been up that tram years ago n it is so breathtaking n gorgeous views from up top. Sad to hear that it's not in operation anymore. 😢

[@steveleslie2170]

Beautiful part of your Country. Someday I'll head southeast and visit that State again.

[@SalveRegina8]

This is such a treasure to me. Unfortunately, you edited out driving right by my Nana’s old cabin off of Firemarker 14 just down the biway from the falls, but it was wonderful to take this virtual journey again after so many years. I miss her very much.

[@TheDavey53]

Was there last week, that drive never gets old. They had storms go through there, took down a bunch of trees. Thanks for the video.

[@nonrevhogan8938]

Hey , not really a commenter much but just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the ride. Been watching nightly way back last year I guess. Glad your doing the virtual tour. Great name. I always enjoy watching in the evening and always pull up on google maps where were going. Will try to hit some in the future. Getting the RV this year went down the tubes so I ride with you. Love just seeing the drive , some drone shots for a great air shot and some great stops along the way. Have really loved the drive this whole time. Really liked that drive along the Colorado rive , 128 I think it was ...This has been a great trip. Thanks so much for sharing with us....

[@lindaguy8720]

Beautiful country. Reminds me of the movie deadwood. The wild flowers are called goldenrod along the creek.

[@LMGSvideos]

I’ve been following this journey closely. I live in Arkansas, but plant to be in that area in a few weeks. Definitely going on this drive. Thanks for posting these videos!

[@wanda.kwirth6912]

Beautiful

[@rosec8622]

Very pretty drive once again! So green compared to my desert - nice ♡ Thanks Russ for sharing once more. Safe travels and happy trails on your RVerTV Virtual Vacation Tour 2020. 🌻🌞👍

[@Alpinewild444]

[@gideoncyrus1464]

[@kebbenmilliman4206]

[@colinwalters1768]

[@charlesp3764]

Many thanks Russ. AAA+ all the way. Safe travels.

[@carolynmesser7199]

Great ride , stuck at home , thx for the video again , take care Russ

[@rontyson3296]

All I can say is to cool, thanks

[@leonorcummings6616]

I am watching you right now from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I am an avid fan of your channel.

[@davidshelp7116]

I worked for the water dept. of Spearfish when I was in college. The section of creek a way below Bridal vail was part of the City of Spearfish water supply. One of our jobs was to remove trash from the creek. The highway and the creek are so close together that p tourist would throw trash out there windows and it ended up in the water. Cleaning creek was the most prized job for the dept. All that beautiful scenery and cool temps standing in the water. A little known fact about the creek, it run due north and moves so swiftly that it freezes from the bottom up. During winter cleanings we had to break up ice damns so the collection pool had enough water to run into the water system.

[@theroaminggnomad]

That's a shame

[@tandem8]

Cheyenne Crossing restaurant at 14A intersection is without a doubt the best breakfast in the Black Hills

[@michaelelmore5103]

Hey Russ, great video! I think I saw the sign for Elmore at the 2:35 mark. Loving the scenery and trip!!👍😃

[@tick_magnetedschaper5611]

There are tails you can hike to the top of the cliffs. The view from up there is pretty sweet!

[@nancyquinlan9644]

Omg I want to move there!

[@calgondave]

Thanks for all your great videos!

[@jerryw6699]

You mentioned gold panning a few times. I have some friends that have done that in the Black Hills. They are school teachers, so they have summers off. Back in the 1980's, these 2 guys would head to the hills and pan for gold. I believe that their best summer netted them about $20k. They had to get a mining permit and they would go where the old mines were and sift through the tailings. After a few years, they told me that all of the easy gold has been found in the hills. I suppose there are still some getting a little bit, but it's not very profitable now.

[@dianebrace6841]

Great scenery. I shared this video with my husband. We are planning a trip in that general direction in next couple of weeks. Think we will include this route in our trip.

[@chiewsaetern2182]

Nice

[@rhondaplait9236]

Beautiful thank you. Go up to Prescott Lynx creek you will find gold there.

[@aussiegoer]

Gday Russ.😉..lovely part of the country 👌..wish I was over there..😉👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! This was a really nice day. Loved the drone footage! 👍

[@ericcampbell9553]

Moving there next summer! Been there alot so beautiful u missed a few waterfalls ! I'm sure u have been told alot .

[@stephanielong6879]

Museum and fishing items! Even rental at that power house! Thought of being in a rumble seat such nice weather!

[@susanbennett6809]

Hi Russ 👋 Alabama here 😊, great view nice road trip thank you 😊

[@lynnm635]

Hi Russ, really like your videos. I heard you say you are headed to Wyo. Have you seen Ten Sleep Canyon just West of Buffalo,Wyo. ?

[@davewiinslow7771]

Just got back from that ride I have kept a look out for the white van.

[@lczenz]

According to the locals, a tornado went bouncing back ad fort in the canyon and took out a lot of trees.

[@sdfamily8489]

While you where there you missed two other spots where waterfalls where at you all most went to rough lock falls but you turned around near the atv and behind that restaurant is another water falls

[@lvglen]

Hey Russ, another great drive is from Helena, Montana to Great Falls up I-15. And since you're relatively close, you should head up to Glacier National Park. How's that for heading north?

[@gsp49]

I couldn't make out the water fall, nothing but trees.

[@ramadasa77]

🙏🤗👍

[@scrapman3735]

What music are you playing when flying your drone?

[@mikeblenkush8115]

If you were looking for water falls in Spearfish Canyon, how did you miss the 2 most popular water falls, Spearfish Falls (within walking distance from the Latchstring Restaurant at Savoy) and Roughlock Falls, perhaps the most scenic falls in Spearfish Canyon?

[@joevrabel7374]

Just stumbled upon your video. My wife and I are planning a trip to Deadwood in June and I was wondering how you get such clear footage. If so do you stick it to the windshield? Never had or use a GoPro. Thanks

[@annettehambler-pruden6682]

LOOKS LIKE A BAD FOREST FIRE WENT THROUGH THERE AND CAUSED ALL THE FALLEN TREES

[@Alpinewild444]

Annette Hambler-Pruden wouldn’t the trees be burnt? why all caps in your comment? just curious, have a nice day🌸

[@lizrichards4173]

nope a tornado

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

Any gold in dem dar hills? Lol. Question: do you have a monitor to look into while taking videos? When out in the sunshine I can't see the phone screen nor can I see the digital screen view-finder on my camera. I have to use the old-school part of my camera...put an eyeball up to the little square view-finder. Could use some advice from you or anyone.

[@butchkelin3762]

How are the bugs and mosquitos up there?

[@tinamck28]

I feel so sorry for all the “inter city” people that never get to see sights like this!!!! 😢

[@johnlovero]

Where can I find the type of turbulence deflectors that you have on the rear sides of your van?

[@rvertv]

airtabs.com

[@johnlovero]

@@rvertv Thank you, Rus, for the info!!

[@peteroth6638]

You missed 3-4 waterfalls. To bad.

[@Rawshella]

:)

[@j-marie4006]

I'm really impressed with the beauty of South Dakota

[@bobevansIW]

I thought the "Zen" moments were great! Really beautiful scenery, thank you Russ for bringing this virtual vacation into my home, here on the Isle of Wight (UK) ;-)

[@jesscarey7666]

Very cool Russ 😎 Thanks for the ride sir!

[@davementley6852]

Greetings from Gillette, Wy. if you happen to be passing through. Love and appreciate the great videos and commentaries. 👍👍👍

[@CharlesinGA]

I spent four nights at Spearfish City Campground. I only had a motor home so I rented a car just a few minutes walk from the campground and did all of my touring. I stopped at every pull-off on the Spearfish Canyon scenic drive and stopped and just listened to the water running down the creek. This was the week before the eclipse in 2017. Seriously one of the best drives in the Blackhills.

[@kevinp2820]

Afternoon Russ! Wasn't that a cool drive. Looking forward to you getting together with Curt and Kendra with My Wind Stuff. Come on do a live feed from the campground with them! See You Soon!

[@cgiebler69]

Can't wait to see you Russ. Ironhorse Campground has open arms for RVerTV!

[@joycebarnett5813]

This is a most excellent scenic drive. So green and gorgeous and what a wonderful place for a picnic. Thanks for taking me along. I really appreciate the drive. Stay safe and happy adventuring

[@10207ret]

The proprietors of the Spearfish RV campgrounds we stayed at last year had some pictures of huge trout they caught out of that river.

[@jeffkimber]

Russ, two things I really appreciate about your videos: when you are traveling - you’re up early filming and you capture a lot of early morning sunshine - much appreciated especially when I watch your videos before I start my work day. And secondly, you really do a great job of talking to the viewers in such a way as to make us feel like we’re on the journey with you - it’s a rare quality that very few KZbinrs do well. Finally, it’s that you emphasize the journey as much or more than the destination. Thanks for sharing your travels!

[@renebarfoot8802]

Stop by and see the Stone House Saloon, Aladdin and Huelett Wyoming you'll like all three of them. Devils tower is near the three locations that I mentioned. I can't remember the highway numbers you should be able to find them on the map.

[@bobwatson1162]

That storm made a lot of firewood for the taking..

[@chuckstith838]

Been watching your videos for months now and I just had to say the camera in the van was a little blurry. Maybe dirty. Love the video. Enjoy

[@notanomad9320]

When we stay at the Spearfish City Canyon campgrounds, we ride the tandem up 14A up to Spearfish Canyon Lodge. It's a beautiful ride along the trail from the campground and the grade is very mild. One of our favorite campgrounds to stay at.

[@focusonbeauty4078]

Several years back they had an invasive beetle in the forest of Black hills. I'm sure the falling trees are them trying to protect the forest from those beetles still today.

[@lindaschlegel8656]

What are those what appear to be plastic tabs on the rear side of your van? Are they airflow devices?

[@56fordthunderbird]

you should see bridal veil falls colorado at teluride via black bear pass

[@cigarcaptain]

During my Zen moment I was starting to see colors!

[@Skidoo22]

Woah!! That Spearfish Creek is really gorgeous!! Reminder: buy gold pan for return trip!

[@cindyhenke9914]

Hiya Russ! We just got home from Sturgis last night after being there for a week for the rally. All that damage was from 2 tornadoes a week apart that happened in July. It was so sad to see so much damage

[@larryolesen1723]

Hi Russ, I with you on gold panning, souned fun I'll bet there are quite a few right bought up in that area. I love the mountains, Thank you for sharing. Hey where's the wild animals? Ha

[@jackhackett80]

Heading out this way next month. A few of your videos have influenced our itinerary. Thanks for the content

[@kurtporter1323]

Rusty. You're thinking gold pan while im thinking fishing pole. But hey, thanks for showing me a part of the country I've never been to.Wonderful vistas !

[@ZahaA]

Another beautiful place & Video. Thanks Russ 🚐. Stay safe.

[@Julie-gr1nf]

That was cool! Wouldn't it be fun to pan for gold there!! I was thinking the same thing!! I love that you stop and look at things. The drone is really cool.... stay safe!!

[@milehighkit4725]

Some real nice area up there. It's been years since I've been that way! Time for a road trip :-)

[@donnakuykendall5402]

Another awesome drive...Thank you sooo much Russ.

[@tomshively5419]

Really beautiful scenery makes me want to move there! Wonder what caused all of those downed trees?

[@garretpatterson5389]

Thank you Russ for showing us just how beautiful our great country is. For ever free.

[@bzj31416]

You missed Roughlock falls near Savoy, my favorite place on the drive.

[@kathy_ee5671]

Wow so green nice and that rushing water great spot to visit for sure !!

[@pantera6672]

Hey Russ Did you know Spearfish Creek is one of the few bodies of water that freezes from the bottom up and not top down :) Yeap a ton of dirt roads in Black hills for 4 wheeling ya can travel to wonder full wyoming and back PEACE mister

[@williamcomer2688]

You intimated going the Sleeping Giant, north of Helna. I don't know how close you got, but you didn't get close enough to distinguish the formation. Otherwishe, good travel.

[@jobepeevey3566]

I never knew it was so beautiful up there. Thank you Russ.

[@TheDionysius57]

You have a good eye for scenery....thanks for the ride!

[@randylucas9254]

Russ, last July 2020 there were 2 tornadoes that went through the canyon. That's where you see all the fallen and snapped off trees. We live in Sturgis May to October (to big a puss to stay the winters).
