First opened as a seasonal resort in 1934, Rim Rock Lodge is actually a collection of cabins - mostly old but lovingly restored - dotted here and there along an unpaved driveway leading to the top of the canyon. The accommodation is snug, clean and comfortable, and the location - a few miles into the canyon from the city of Spearfish - is idyllic. Spruce Cabin (pictured), which sits right on the edge of the canyon, offers the best views but there's a seating area a few yards away that's open to all guests.

Looking to exchange the distractions of the 21st century for some rustic charm? Good, because these cabins have no television, internet, phones or air conditioning.
