Sioux Falls SD

Sioux Falls, SD
This is a really neat little town with a large park called Falls Park (because that’s where the Sioux Falls are on what else but the Sioux River). Aptly named don’t you think. Well the park is really nice and has walkways and a bridge over the falls with lots of shade trees. As you can imagine the terrain since leaving Mitchell SD has changed from being very flat to hilly. Not real mountainous but large hills. The city of Sioux Falls has what appears to be a red granite or quartz which is very nice.
They also have a stockyard which I visited and took a picture of. As you can see this must have been and still is a large cattle producing area and meat packing center.
The park also contains the remains of a large flour mill. The largest of its kind when it was built apparently but no longer used.
Well time to get to the internet café overlooking the park.
