Are you a waterfall lover?
We had not originally planned on stopping at Sioux Falls, but the more that I read about Falls
Park,
I decided that we couldn't pass it up. The Falls of the Big Sioux River flow over, around and
through the craggy pink-hued quartzite rock. There's paved walking paths plus several viewing
platforms as well as plenty of spots on the rocks to stop, listen, watch and enjoy the sights and
sounds.
Also located within Falls Park are some of the city's oldest buildings including the ruins of the
Queen Bee Flour Mill and today's Falls Overlook Café which was once the Light and Power
Company
Building. There's also permanent and rotating sculptures located throughout the park. The
Monarch of the Plains was sculpted from a single piece of mahogany granite weighing in at 12
tons!
When you think of favorite waterfalls, which come to the top of your mind?
