Arriving at the Big Sioux River

We weren't in Sioux Falls an hour when Joan announced it was her new favorite place!  We drove into the city (through what looked like Bellerose Village and Dilworth) and went to Falls Park.

It was a great place to walk around.  Just downstream from the falls, there were flat rocks that we could walk on and sit looking up at the falls.  We discussed how much the Burton boys would love all the rocks and could climb around till their hearts were content.

We took a long hike up one bank of the river, crossed over and walked back on the other.  There was a 5-story observation tower that provided a super view of the entire park.

We also jumped on the trolley and got an overview of the downtown area.  Tomorrow we plan to return and explore the museums and the famous sculpture walk.
