'76 Trailhead
Looking for a Stunning View?
Take on the ‘76 Trail—a short but challenging hike that rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of Spearfish Canyon. This ¾-mile trail climbs over 1,000 feet in a short distance, so expect a steep and strenuous trek.
Trail Details:
- Foot traffic only (no pets, bikes, horses, or motor vehicles).
- A true workout, but the sense of seclusion and the beauty of the canyon make it worth every step.
