I drove a road from Deadwood to Spearfish that had a few really cool waterfalls along the way. This one was my favorite. The whole area around these falls are very beautiful. Just north of the falls is where they filmed the final scenes of Dances With Wolves.

Roughlock Falls got its name from the way wagons had to travel down very steep slopes like this during the gold rush days. Drivers would "roughlock" the wheels of their wagons with logs or chains to prevent them from turning, hitch the horses to the rear, and slowly skid down the slope.

I've been here, I've actually been behind this waterfall...back when we could still go behind there, I heard you can't anymore...
I love how you caught the movement of the water..what shutter speed did you use?

I love how you can see all of the water just eating away at the lone rock below. I wonder how big it was to begin with.
