Pigtail Bridges

Of course Wilson the Travel Pig HAD to pose with this sign☺

This past Saturday my husband and I took the Corvette out on a scenic drive in the Back Hills. My husband had heard about and wanted to see the Pigtail Bridges- which are a series of curved wooden bridges. We printed out a map of the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway- I highly recommend this to everyone! Great scenery, fun twisty curves and take a "skinny" car as you do go through some pretty narrow one way underpasses cut into rock laden hills. I fear if your car is too wide that it could end up getting it's side mirrors scraped off- eek! The views from the various points of interest and along the road in general are breathtakingly beautiful! Vast fields of purple wildflowers were set amongst the tall grasses. It was pretty remarkable how you could catch many different views of Mount Rushmore while on our scenic drive- there are a vast many picture taking opportunities on this trip so be sure to bring your camera!

Here's a picture of one of the many fields of purple wildflowers that we saw




Some wildlife
Just one of the many fantastic views of Mount Rushmore
This natural rock formation is one of the many wonders you will see on this little drive through the Black Hills.
This is the small lake that you saw in the movie National Treasure 2, isn't it lovely?




Last but certainly not least, here's the car we took on this scenic trip through the Black Hills.
