Beautiful Bear Butte
Jul 9, 2014
Jeanne Apelseth shared these photos of Bear Butte State Park and Bear Butte Lake, just a few miles north and east of Sturgis. The area is sacred to many Native American tribes. According to Cheyenne custom, Bear Butte is where holy man Sweet Medicine met the Creator and the Four Sacred Persons who guard the universe. Traditional religious ceremonies are still held there.
