Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls and its surrounding area is a popular camping retreat. People are drawn to the cascading waterfalls of the Big Sioux River, a breathtaking marvel of natural beauty. The present day twists and curves were carved into the pink quartzite 14,000 years ago by the last glacial sheet as it crept across the land. The quartzite bedrock was formed around a billion and a half years old, its origins sediment deposits from a shallow sea.

The beauty and grandeur of Sioux Falls is timeless, as can be attested to by the historical remains discovered by scientists and historians. Prehistoric people were also attracted to the area, their presence evidenced by the many burial mounds that dot the lofty bluffs by the river. Following these early denizens of Sioux Falls came agricultural individuals who constructed their villages on the very same land. Native American tribes, the Lakota and the Dakota, arrived around the 18th century and used the falls as a popular meeting and trading place with French fur trappers.
