Start – 10:26 AM, 62\u00b0F, Brush Creek trailhead of Centennial Trail No. 89<\/em><\/p>\n

15 days after reaching Centennial Trail No. 89’s Brush Creek trailhead from the S, Lupe was back.\u00a0 After days of gloomy mist and fog, bright white clouds now floated in a clean blue sky.\u00a0 A pretty morning in May, but the air was humid.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP were both glad it wasn’t any warmer out than it was.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
111 mile long Centennial Trail No. 89 goes from Bear Butte<\/strong><\/a><\/span> near Sturgis, South Dakota to Wind Cave National Park<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in the southern Black Hills.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first part of today’s plan was to explore Centennial Trail No. 89 all the way N to the Tamarack Gulch and Rapid Creek trailheads, a distance of 4.9 miles as the trail goes.\u00a0 Lupe started off following the trail NE down Brush Creek canyon.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Centennial Trail No. 89 crossed the road frequently.\u00a0 In some places the trail was practically non-existent, so Lupe simply trotted along right on the road.\u00a0 Most of the time, though, she stayed on the single track trail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Yes, the road is close by and easier, but following the trail is more fun!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Except for a few small pools of water and a tiny trickle of a stream close to the trailhead, Brush Creek was totally dry.\u00a0 The canyon was pretty, though, with some fairly impressive rock walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Brush Creek was dry, but the canyon featured some scenic rock walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After 3\/8 of a mile, Centennial Trail No. 89 left Brush Creek Road for good.\u00a0 The trail turned N and went over a small ridge.\u00a0 On the other side of the ridge, Lupe discovered another creek.\u00a0 This was Prairie Creek, which actually did have flowing water.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog was already interested in a little refreshment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Sure, this may look like it could be Brush Creek, but it’s actually Prairie Creek<\/strong>!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Loopster wouldn’t have had to run down to Prairie Creek right away.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 crossed the stream 3 times over the next 0.25 mile.\u00a0 The creek crossings were trivial.\u00a0 Stepping stones were available for SPHP’s use.\u00a0 Lupe didn’t bother with them.\u00a0 She preferred to cool her paws off in the shallow stream.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Nothing to these Prairie Creek<\/strong> crossings! Use the stepping stones or cool your paws off, whatever you prefer!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the 3rd creek crossing, Prairie Creek veered off into a side canyon.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 continued NW up Gold Standard Gulch.\u00a0 Lupe gained elevation steadily, but slowly.\u00a0 For a little way, large rock walls were NE of the trail.\u00a0 Farther on, Gold Standard Gulch was simply a pleasant valley.\u00a0 The valley floor was dominated by stands of aspens or small meadows.\u00a0 Ponderosa pines covered the hillsides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
For a little way beyond the last Prairie Creek crossing large rock walls were seen along the NE side of Gold Standard Gulch<\/strong>. Photo looks NNW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Farther on, Gold Standard Gulch<\/strong> was simply a nice valley full of bushes and aspens. Ponderosa pines dominated the hillsides. Photo looks NW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Little changed for nearly 1.5 miles, but eventually the terrain began to steepen.\u00a0 Lupe was gaining elevation faster, but still at only a moderate pace.\u00a0 It became clear, however, that she would soon be coming to some sort of pass or high point.<\/p>\n

The aspens gave way to an open pine forest which had been thinned by logging operations.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 curved N.\u00a0 A dirt logging road brought Lupe to a saddle at the upper end of Gold Standard Gulch.\u00a0 Loop was already over halfway to the Rapid Creek trailhead.\u00a0 The saddle seemed like a good spot to take a short break.<\/p>\n

Lupe wasn’t hungry yet.\u00a0 She rested on pine needles atop little rock ledges W of the trail.\u00a0 SPHP had an apple.\u00a0 Not too surprisingly given the humid conditions, the sky had clouded up.\u00a0 Rain was a low probability according to the forecast, but seemed rather likely.<\/p>\n

If Lupe hadn’t stopped here, SPHP would have followed the logging road right on over the N side of the saddle.\u00a0 However, while Lupe relaxed, SPHP suddenly realized that there was a Centennial Trail No. 89 marker in the forest on the opposite side of the road.\u00a0 Evidently, the trail left the logging road at this pass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

When SPHP was ready, Lupe pressed on.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 went NE over a small forested hill on a ridgeline.\u00a0 The trail didn’t stay up on the ridge for long.\u00a0 Soon it turned NW and began winding down into Tamarack Gulch.\u00a0 Lupe came to a grassy road, which the trail followed N down the gulch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Centennial Trail No. 89 follows a grassy road down Tamarack Gulch<\/strong>. Photo looks N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tamarack Gulch was steeper than Gold Standard Gulch had been.\u00a0 Lupe rapidly lost 400 feet of elevation.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 didn’t go all the way down Tamarack Gulch, but left it, swinging briefly to the W on a side road on some level ground.\u00a0 After only a few hundred feet, the trail left the side road, too, becoming a single track trail once again heading NW.\u00a0 Another 80+ feet of elevation loss brought Lupe to a cabin just S of the Tamarack Gulch trailhead.<\/p>\n

Tamarack Gulch trailhead was nothing more than a turnaround loop for vehicles on a flat open meadow near Rapid Creek.\u00a0 By the time Lupe got there, it was raining.\u00a0 A huge Ponderosa pine next to the creek provided Lupe and SPHP some degree of protection from the rain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
It was raining when Lupe reached the Tamarack Gulch trailhead near Rapid Creek<\/strong>. Photo looks N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rain fell for 20 minutes while Lupe and SPHP sheltered under the big pine tree.\u00a0 Little trout were leaping in the creek almost the whole time.\u00a0 They were fun to watch.\u00a0 Every now and then a larger trout made an especially big splash.<\/p>\n

The rain eased up.\u00a0 Onward!\u00a0 Lupe was now in the broad, flat Rapid Creek valley. The Rapid Creek trailhead was only 0.6 mile away.\u00a0 Two pawbridges over the meandering river would get her there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Damp, but not daunted! And not even damp for long. Getting to the Rapid Creek trailhead was easy! Now what, SPHP? Shall we go take a look at the pond below the spillway?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Upon reaching the Rapid Creek trailhead, Lupe had completed her planned explorations along Centennial Trail No. 89 for the day.\u00a0 Of course, she’d have to take the trail all the way back to the Brush Creek trailhead again, but even so, she had lots of time to spare.<\/p>\n

Lupe and SPHP wandered over to have a look at the pond below the Pactola Reservoir spillway.\u00a0 Several ducks flew off as Lupe drew near.\u00a0 Loop climbed up an embankment for a better view of the pond.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
This pond is only a couple hundred yards from Centennial Trail No. 89’s Rapid Creek trailhead. Worth a look, aye? If you are feeling ambitious, you can go up and take a look at Pactola Reservoir, the largest lake in the Black Hills, too, from up on the dam.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the pond, Lupe could have gone up onto the dam for a look at Pactola Reservoir, but being more of a peakbagging Dingo than a water Dingo, she had a different adventure in mind.\u00a0 She was going to climb nearby Perrin Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,212 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The pond was pretty, but we’re going to go climb a mountain now, right SPHP?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Rapid Creek trailhead, Centennial Trail No. 89 follows a gravel road NW up a valley as it begins the 5 mile journey to the next trailhead at Deer Creek.\u00a0 Lupe had no intention of going all the way to Deer Creek, but started up the valley.\u00a0 She immediately passed several nice cabins along the way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if SPHP would buy me a beautiful cabin in the Black Hills like this one?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just beyond the last lovely cabin (pictured above), the valley and road both forked.\u00a0 Centennial Trail No. 89 continued up the L fork.\u00a0 Lupe took the road to the R.\u00a0 She followed it only a few hundred feet before turning E and climbing up onto a forested ridge.\u00a0 On the other side of this ridge was another valley.\u00a0 A big power line was down there.<\/p>\n

Lupe followed the ridge she was already on climbing steadily N.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lupe eventually began to get tree broken views of Pactola Reservoir back to the SW.\u00a0 When she had gone over 0.5 mile and gained 500 feet of elevation, she reached the power line.\u00a0 From here she had her first and only clear view of Pactola Reservoir on her way up Perrin Mountain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
When Lupe reached the power line, she got her only clear view of Pactola Reservoir<\/strong> on the way up Perrin Mountain. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe went under the power line climbing NNE.\u00a0 The ridge was steep here, but remained so only until she reached a large rock formation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Not far from the power line, Lupe reaches the largest rock formation she came to while climbing Perrin Mountain. Photo looks SSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another 0.1 mile brought Lupe to a grassy high point.\u00a0 This high point was both the far N end of the ridge she had been following and part of Perrin Mountain’s main W ridge.\u00a0 The summit was still 0.5 mile away off to the ESE.\u00a0 Loop would only need to gain another 230 feet of elevation on the way there.<\/p>\n

The American Dingo headed E for the summit.\u00a0 The gradual uphill trek on the broad ridge was fun and easy.\u00a0 Lupe passed many upright tilted rock formations only a few feet high.\u00a0 Glimpses of Pactola Reservoir were available between the trees almost the entire time, but the forest was thick enough so the views didn’t really grab or hold attention.<\/p>\n

More than halfway to the summit, Lupe came to a dirt road.\u00a0 The road soon ended at a campfire ring made of stones.\u00a0 Neanderthals had been here!\u00a0 They’d left broken glass and beer cans as evidence of the power and glory of their civilization.\u00a0 For the moment, Lupe and SPHP left this fabulous archeological discovery undisturbed .<\/p>\n

A single track trail led to the summit of Perrin Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,212)<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 Lupe had been here once before more than 2 years ago, so she knew what to expect.\u00a0 No views, and only a small rock outcropping at the true summit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Centennial Trail No. 89 is fun, but I like to spice it up with a bit of peakbagging along the way whenever possible!<\/em> Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As soon as Lupe reached the top of Perrin Mountain, she heard thunder off to the N.\u00a0 The sunshine had disappeared again a while ago.\u00a0 More rain was on the way.\u00a0 The plan had been to take an extended break up on Perrin Mountain, but maybe that wasn’t such a great idea?<\/p>\n

Things didn’t seem too threatening yet, though.\u00a0 Loop and SPHP lounged about for a while.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog was hungry.\u00a0 The Taste of the Wild supply disappeared.\u00a0 The last apple vanished, too.\u00a0 Thunder rumbled off to the N every few minutes, as a reminder not to get too complacent.<\/p>\n

Not much had changed up on Perrin Mountain in the past 2 years, which was a good thing, of course.\u00a0 The Hurt Locker sign was still attached to a tree a little SE of the true summit.\u00a0 SPHP still thought it must refer to a first aid locker, but none was to be seen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Perhaps this sign refers to a first aid kit that used to be here?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A stroll around Perrin Mountain’s summit area didn’t reveal much.\u00a0 Lupe could see a short stretch of Hwy 44 off to the NE.\u00a0 She had badly tree broken views of Pactola Reservoir to the SW.\u00a0 That was about it.\u00a0 The most interesting thing was a huge dead tree NW of the true summit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Perrin Mountain summit area was pleasantly secluded. Not too exciting, however, except for the rumble of thunder. The true summit is seen on the R. Photo looks N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Half an hour after arriving, Lupe left the summit of Perrin Mountain.\u00a0 She now had to retrace the entire journey here all the way back to the Brush Creek trailhead where she’d started.\u00a0 On the way, she stopped by the Neanderthal site where SPHP looted the priceless treasures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The next rain shower caught Lupe on Centennial Trail No. 89 out in the open between the Rapid Creek and Tamarack Gulch trailheads.\u00a0 The rain fell harder this time, but fortunately wasn’t a deluge.\u00a0 The shower ended as Lupe reached the big pine tree next to Rapid Creek at the Tamarack Gulch trailhead.\u00a0 The little trout were still jumping, so Loop and SPHP hung out beneath the big tree for a few minutes to watch them.<\/p>\n

A couple of Canadian geese were wandering about checking out the local real estate on offer.\u00a0 Apparently it had been looking promising.\u00a0 Rapid Creek and the rain shower were both desirable features.\u00a0 However, they sauntered away when they saw a Carolina Dog in the neighborhood.\u00a0 Who wants to live next to such riffraff?<\/p>\n

Once Lupe had regained 500 feet of elevation going up Tamarack Gulch to reach the saddle at the upper end of Gold Standard Gulch, the rest of the return trip was easy.\u00a0 Thunder continued to rumble for a while, but eventually faded away.\u00a0 It never did rain again.\u00a0 The sun even came out for a few seconds now and then.<\/p>\n

Going down Gold Standard Gulch was fun!\u00a0 Squirrels in the aspen trees provided plenty of excitement and entertainment.\u00a0 All too soon, the first of the three Prairie Creek crossings appeared indicating the approaching end of the good times in Gold Standard Gulch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

While going up Brush Creek canyon on the last part of the return trip, Lupe scared up a bird along the trail.\u00a0 It flew up from the ground only a little way to sit on a low branch.\u00a0 Neither Lupe nor SPHP had ever seen a bird quite like it anywhere in the Black Hills before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Of course, I know what kind of bird it is, Loop! That’s a brown crested whatchamacallit.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The strange bird provided the evening’s final bit of excitement.\u00a0 Lupe was soon back at the Brush Creek trailhead and the G6.\u00a0 (6:45 PM, 53\u00b0F)<\/em><\/p>\n

The last of the American Dingo’s three adventures along Centennial Trail No. 89 in the spring of 2018 were now complete.\u00a0 They had been fun, but summer was coming!\u00a0 Lupe had a couple more adventures ahead of her in the western high country of the Black Hills before June, but after that her summer of 2018 Dingo Vacations to exotic and remote locations far from home would begin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Oh, don’t worry Centennial Trail fans! I’ll be back in the fall for more great adventures along Centennial Trail No. 89, so stay tuned!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
