Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway (US-14A)

US-14A winds through a 1,000-foot limestone canyon between Spearfish and Cheyenne Crossing, passing three waterfalls along Spearfish Creek; the area appeared in Dances with Wolves. The mapped route follows all of US-14A, which continues past the canyon through Lead and Deadwood back to I-90.
