Start – 9:09 AM, 68\u00b0F, Spring Creek trailhead of Centennial Trail No. 89<\/em><\/p>\n

Half a dozen vehicles were at the Spring Creek trailhead off Sheridan Lake Road when Lupe arrived.\u00a0 Apparently the day was going to get off to a busy start, at least by the Carolina Dog’s standards.<\/p>\n

Lupe didn’t mind having an opportunity to meet a few people and sniff with other dogs.\u00a0 They were all likely to be concentrated around this first part of the trail along Spring Creek and Sheridan Lake.\u00a0 She would have plenty of solitude soon enough.\u00a0 Loop was eager to get going, and was underway as soon as SPHP was ready.<\/p>\n

The Spring Creek trailhead provides access to Flume Trail No. 50 and the 111 mile long Centennial Trail No. 89<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 A spur trail follows Spring Creek upstream for a mile to Sheridan Lake where intersections with both of the main trails are found.\u00a0 Spring Creek is one of the larger streams in the Black Hills.\u00a0 The upstream trek is easy and beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
By Spring Creek<\/strong> only a short distance from the trailhead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several beam bridges cross Spring Creek on the way to Sheridan Lake.\u00a0 Before the first bridge a shortcut to the Dakota Point trailhead appears on the R.\u00a0 This seldom used side route is easy to miss, if not looking for it.\u00a0 The shortcut avoids the rest of Spring Creek and Sheridan Lake entirely.<\/p>\n

Lupe wasn’t looking for a shortcut now.\u00a0 Water in all its forms lends beauty and tranquility to almost any scene.\u00a0 The American Dingo had plenty of time to take the scenic route.\u00a0 She skipped the shortcut and went on to the first bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lupe did meet several people and a couple of dogs, but only briefly.\u00a0 A fisherman hadn’t had any luck fishing Spring Creek.\u00a0 Although the sky was overcast, everyone was enjoying the unseasonably warm day.<\/p>\n

Crossing these beam bridges is fun!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The spur trail was practically level almost all the way to Sheridan Lake.\u00a0 Near the dam the trail became steeper, but not for long.\u00a0 Loop was soon up on the S end of the dam.\u00a0 She had reached Centennial Trail No. 89.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lupe could have taken Centennial Trail No. 89 SE along Sheridan Lake from here.\u00a0 Alternatively, Flume Trail No. 50 branches off just S of the dam.\u00a0 However, the plan was to explore the Centennial Trail N to the Brush Creek trailhead, a distance of nearly 8 miles.<\/p>\n

The American Dingo trotted across the dam heading N.\u00a0 At the far end, a winding stone stairway led to the top of a small hill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Looking S at the Sheridan Lake dam. The hill on the R is Bluelead Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,170 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> where Lupe had seen a mountain lion on Leap Day in 2016.

Leaving Sheridan Lake behind, Lupe crossed a footbridge over the Spring Creek outlet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This footbridge spans the narrow chasm where Spring Creek flows out of Sheridan Lake. Lupe crossed it on her way to the Dakota Point trailhead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After crossing this last bridge over Spring Creek, Lupe had nearly a mile to go on Centennial Trail No. 89 to get to the Dakota Point trailhead.\u00a0 This entire route was on an old road through the forest.\u00a0 For the first 0.5 mile, the road went N up a valley until it reached a saddle.\u00a0 At the saddle, the road leveled out and turned W the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

No vehicles were at the Dakota Point trailhead.\u00a0 The road hike from Sheridan Lake to get here had been a bit dull.\u00a0 However, Lupe still had 6.8 miles to go to get to the Brush Creek trailhead, and the trail was about to get more interesting.\u00a0 The trail crossed a gravel road becoming a single track going downhill on the other side.<\/p>\n

Being on the single track was more fun.\u00a0 The trail went both up and down in a forest that had been thinned.\u00a0 Overall, Loopster lost a little net elevation by the time she reached Sheridan Lake Road 0.5 mile NW of the Dakota Point trailhead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After passing the Dakota Point trailhead, Centennial Trail No. 89 becomes a single track for 0.5 mile on the way to Sheridan Lake Road. Photo looks NW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once Lupe crossed Sheridan Lake Road, Centennial Trail No. 89 took her NW up a long valley.\u00a0 This was the start of a much more private and less traveled region.<\/p>\n

Lupe had hardly gotten started up the valley when she crossed a tiny trickle of a stream.\u00a0 The day was quite warm, very warm if wearing a fashionable fur coat like Lupe was.\u00a0 The tiny stream featured a small, rather slimy green waterhole.\u00a0 The American Dingo was not shy about helping herself to a slimy drink, and a quick slimy, cooling bath.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Slime? What slime? This is great! Nice and cool!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Centennial Trail No. 89 followed an abandoned USFS Road up the long valley.\u00a0 The grassy road seemed like a part of nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The trail continued NW or N following a maze of old roads.\u00a0 Most of this area was forested, but Lupe passed a few meadows, too.\u00a0 At one point she went by a large rock formation on the R.\u00a0 It was the only one, though.\u00a0 This wasn’t rough territory.<\/p>\n

Lupe gained elevation steadily at a modest pace.\u00a0 A mile from Sheridan Lake Road she reached a minor crest.\u00a0 Beyond the crest the trail brought her to a large power line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
About a mile from Sheridan Lake Road, Lupe reaches a big power line. Centennial Trail No. 89 follows the power line for a couple hundred yards before disappearing back into the forest on the R. Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Centennial Trail No. 89 turned NE here, following the power line for 200 yards before heading E back into the forest.\u00a0 Lupe quickly crossed a small saddle before losing elevation slowly as the trail entered a more open region.\u00a0 Stands of aspens were common.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After leaving the power line and crossing a small forested saddle, Lupe enters a shallow valley where aspens were common among the pines. Photo looks ESE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Much of the Centennial Trail sees only light use.\u00a0 Trail maintenance is spotty.\u00a0 In many places trail markers are missing, have faded or fallen over.\u00a0 Unless some degree of alertness is maintained, it can be easy to miss turns.\u00a0 SPHP sensed Lupe might be approaching one of these places.\u00a0 The trail was going E or even SE.\u00a0 Somewhere around here, it would have to turn N again fairly soon.<\/p>\n

The grassy road the trail followed took Loop well into the aspens before she reached the turn N.\u00a0 Fortunately, this turn was marked.\u00a0 Otherwise it would have been so easy to keep following the grassy road SE.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Centennial Trail No. 89 turns N (L) here. Fortunately, the turn is marked by an arrow on the brown wand (R). Photo looks ESE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As soon as the trail turned N, Lupe began gradually regaining the nearly 100 feet of elevation she had lost on the way down into the aspens.\u00a0 She regained it all and more before reaching another saddle in a pine forest.\u00a0 This saddle was SE of High Point 5302<\/span><\/strong> and SW of High Point 5331<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was time for a short break.\u00a0 Small rock outcroppings a little SE of the trail seemed like a good spot.\u00a0 Lupe had water.\u00a0 She wasn’t interested in her Taste of the Wild yet, but was quite happy to help SPHP out with that chocolate granola bar.<\/p>\n

Although there had been sections of downhill on the way here, none of them had been too significant.\u00a0 For the most part, Lupe had been gaining elevation.\u00a0 She was now at 5,200 feet, the highest point she would reach while actually on Centennial Trail No. 89 all day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

When break time was over, Lupe started the first significant downhill stretch she’d come to all day.\u00a0 At first, on the steepest part of the decline, Centennial Trail No. 89 followed an old road.\u00a0 Once Looper had lost 200 feet going generally N, the trail swung E while losing another 150 feet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After losing more than 200 feet of elevation from the high point, Centennial Trail No. 89 leaves the road here to skirt the hillside on the L. Photo looks E.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Although the Black Hills are full of deadfall timber resulting from a pine bark beetle infestation, Lupe came to very little deadfall on the portion of Centennial Trail No. 89 that she explored today. This short stretch was an exception. Photo looks ENE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

0.75 mile from the high point where Lupe had taken her short break, Centennial Trail No. 89 bottomed out.\u00a0 It now started up a valley that led NNE.\u00a0 Lupe was about to enter the Bald Hills, an area of grasslands covering 2+ square miles within the Black Hills National Forest.\u00a0 She soon arrived at a saddle E of Twin Sisters<\/span><\/a> (5,244 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Centennial Trail No. 89 passes right by the Twin Sisters<\/strong>. The E Twin Sister<\/strong> is the hill seen here. Photo looks WSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The E Twin Sister is the highest, and sits along the edge of the Bald Hills.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 goes right by it.\u00a0 This was an opportunity for Lupe to get a little peakbagging in!\u00a0 Loop and SPHP left the trail and made the short climb to the top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Loop arrives at the summit of the E Twin Sister<\/strong>. Peak 5800<\/strong> is seen on the L. The lower grasslands are part of the area known as the Bald Hills. Photo looks WNW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The summit of the E Twin Sister was a short ridge running N\/S.\u00a0 Deadfall timber littered the entire N end, and part of the S end, too.\u00a0 A patch of ground right at the true summit was open and only a bit rocky.\u00a0 Many dead trees had fallen over, but enough dead and live pines were still standing to mar the views in most directions.<\/p>\n

Still, this wasn’t a bad vantage point.\u00a0 Lupe could see a number of peaks she had been to before.\u00a0 She also enjoyed a commanding view of the Bald Hills to the E.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The temperature must have been in the 70’s \u00b0F.\u00a0 The physical exertion of following the trail and climbing E Twin Sister was enough to make it seem very warm.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP were both ready for water and a longer break.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog thought maybe it would be best to eat the other chocolate granola bar right now before the chocolate melted.\u00a0 That seemed like a good idea, and the deed was done.<\/p>\n

The heat made Loop and SPHP lazy.\u00a0 Twin Sisters was a nice spot with at least some views.\u00a0 Why not relax a bit?\u00a0 Lupe laid down next to SPHP.\u00a0 She enjoyed being petted while scanning the Bald Hills below for any signs of movement.\u00a0 A few insects buzzed by.\u00a0 The warm air and light breeze felt good when you weren’t doing anything.<\/p>\n

SPHP woke up.\u00a0 The American Dingo was still right there.\u00a0 She hadn’t moved a muscle.\u00a0 The sky had been overcast when Lupe arrived up on Twin Sisters, but now it was sunny.\u00a0 That really had been a nice break, but it was time to get going.\u00a0 Loop and SPHP headed NE down toward Centennial Trail No. 89.<\/p>\n

Centennial Trail No. 89 headed NE losing elevation as it crossed the Bald Hills.\u00a0 It looked like it was going to go down a long valley, but instead curved E.\u00a0 The trail climbed again staying in the Bald Hills a little longer before turning N and heading for the trees.\u00a0 Before it reached the forest, Lupe took another look back at Twin Sisters.<\/p>\n

0.5 mile NE of Twin Sisters, Centennial Trail No. 89 entered the forest once more.\u00a0 Lupe lost elevation gradually over the next 0.5 mile.\u00a0 The trail rounded a ridge and came to a tiny Dingo-sized forest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

After climbing through the tiny forest, Lupe reached a saddle where she crossed a gravel road.\u00a0 On the other side Centennial Trail No. 89 began losing elevation again.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog was now on the final stretch approaching Brush Creek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I’ll have you know this was a very exciting part of the trail. I found a squirrel!<\/em> Photo looks N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before long, Lupe was at Brush Creek.\u00a0 Brush Creek didn’t amount to much.\u00a0 Hardly a trickle.\u00a0 However, there were a couple of nice pools of water.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog was glad to see them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I was so thirsty after barking at that squirrel!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Maybe we should follow streams all the time now that it’s getting warm out? So nice to be able to cool off!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Brush Creek trailhead was across a gravel road from Brush Creek.\u00a0 One vehicle was here, but no one was around.\u00a0 The trailhead featured a map and information about Centennial Trail No. 89.<\/p>\n

History of Centennial Trail No. 89.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the Brush Creek trailhead, Lupe was somewhere around 8.5 miles from where she’d started out at the Spring Creek trailhead this morning.\u00a0 This was far enough for one day, since she now had to go all the way back.\u00a0 When SPHP was done looking at the posted map and information about the trail, Lupe set off again.\u00a0 This time she was heading S.<\/p>\n

By the time Loopster made it back to the Bald Hills, the sunny day had vanished.\u00a0 A thunderstorm was approaching out of the SSW.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A thunderstorm was approaching out of the SSW by the time Lupe made it back to the Bald Hills<\/strong>. The E Twin Sister<\/strong> is dead ahead. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Loop and SPHP left the trail to take a shortcut across the Bald Hills to Twin Sisters<\/span><\/a> (5,244 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 The original plan had been to climb both the E and W Twin Sisters on the return trip, but with the storm approaching, Lupe would be lucky to beat it to just the E Twin Sister.<\/p>\n

People were shooting guns somewhere off to the E not too far away.\u00a0 Lupe couldn’t see them, but the sound of gunfire so close by made her a nervous wreck.\u00a0 She wanted to find a place to hide, but SPHP urged her on toward the E Twin Sister.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Pasque flowers, the state flower of South Dakota, were blooming out on the Bald Hills.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Loopster reached the summit of the E Twin Sister again, she felt better.\u00a0 The gunfire was far away now.\u00a0 She really wasn’t as safe as she thought, though.\u00a0 Trees swayed in a gusty S wind, light rain was falling, thunder rumbled, and occasional lightning flashes could be seen only a few miles away.<\/p>\n

Although the storm wasn’t bad yet, due to the lightning SPHP was eager to leave the summit almost as soon as Lupe arrived.\u00a0 All thoughts of climbing the W Twin Sister had gone out the window, too.<\/p>\n

When SPHP started down, Lupe didn’t follow.\u00a0 She wanted to stay.\u00a0 She felt safe from the gunfire here, and apparently had fond memories of the earlier nap on E Twin Sister.\u00a0 Clearly, the Carolina Dog was hoping for a repeat performance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Despite the storm, Loopster wanted to stay up here on E Twin Sister<\/strong>. She was looking forward to another nap!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Loopster still had a long way to go.\u00a0 Even if there hadn’t been a storm, there wasn’t time for another nap.\u00a0 SPHP coaxed Loop into returning to the trail.<\/p>\n

The storm struck only a glancing blow.\u00a0 It rained, but never too hard.\u00a0 After a while the sun came out.\u00a0 The air was cool now.\u00a0 It was evening.\u00a0 The secluded trek along Centennial Trail No. 89 was wonderful.\u00a0 Loop saw deer and wild turkeys.\u00a0 She went on and on, sniffing happily.<\/p>\n

Another storm came and went, striking another glancing blow.\u00a0 Lupe got wet, but not soaked.\u00a0 Near the end of the day, she took the shortcut leading down to the spur trail near the first bridge over Spring Creek.\u00a0 The sun was down and light was fading by the time Lupe was closing in on the Spring Creek trailhead again.\u00a0 It wasn’t dark when she arrived back at the G6, but would be soon.\u00a0 (8:06 PM, 52\u00b0F)<\/em><\/p>\n

Time to head home for Alpo, and a night dreaming of days yet to come on Centennial Trail No. 89.<\/p>\n
