7/5/2010 Sylvan Lake

















Nestled at the base of Harney Peak and surrounded by impressive rock formations and ponderosa pines, Sylvan Lake is said to be one of the crown jewels of Custer State Park. It's picturesque local begs a stay to be admired and so we did, visiting several times for our walks. Harney Peak, 7242', is the highest point in S. Dakota, not pictured. On a clear day hikers can see all the way from Montana to Nebraska. It is also the highest point in the US east of the Rockies.
