    Beautiful! Sylvan Lake is so beautiful and you can walk around it. The flakes are mica. It makes a beautiful sparkly trail/road. I did that hike 5 or 6 years ago. It kicked my mostly non-hiking butt, but gearing up to do it again. The Black Hills are special and the place I love to go to rejuvenate. I am so fortunate to live within 3.5 hrs of this beautiful place. Enjoy!

    Cody's passion for geography reminds me of a guy I dated who was a Geographer. It's super interesting to find out how many of the formations we see were actually formed. He was also passionate about finding geodes' and about drove me out of my mind looking for them during hikes. You'd never do this to Kelly, but he was slinging rocks, didn't bring a pick and I almost got hit in the face with rock shards a couple of times. As you can imagine, I wasn't pleased. Stay safe and God bless you.
