During our stay in the Black Hills we spent 4days and 3 nights in the Black Elk Wilderness along the Lost Cabin Trail. Our camp sat in a narrow valley with cliffs visible in all directions. It wasn't long after setting up camp that I decided one of the days I would have to do a little exploring. Our last full day out was a was a rest day and a bit dreary so I decided late in the afternoon it was now or never...
