Bridal Veil Falls cascades into Spearfish Creek, the result of a hanging valley feeding into the main stream. Geologically, a hanging valley is formed by a tributary that has higher relief than the main river it feeds into. Often a hanging valley results in a spectacular waterfall such as this one. Spearfish Canyon is a National Scenic byway, a favorite day trip in any season in the Black Hills. Stay tuned for other pictures taken by the family photographers the last weekend in June.

Beautiful and something we don't have since we have little change in topo relief.
Really liked your B&W chickens too!
Nice post about the canyon, and interesting info as well.
