Family photo at the top of Harney Peak, Black Hills National Forest, SD.

We hiked from Sylvan lake to the top and then took an alternate route down for a total of 7 hours of hiking. It was dizzyingly high! Fantastic views on the way up.

Harney Peak is the highest mountain in South Dakota, located within Black Hills National Forest. Its elevation is 7,244 feet (2,208 m). The peak is the highest point in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Pyranees mountains in Europe.
