Crow Peak is a mountain in the northern Black Hills just outside of Spearfish, South Dakota. On a clear day the views are expansive, stretching into 3 states. But yesterday was not a clear day. The weather was cold, cloudy, and damp, and more rain showers loomed. But this was a peak I've been wanting to climb for awhile now, and I was in the area already so I pressed on. After hiking for 3 miles this window to the west opened up just below the summit. It only lasted for a minute or 2 and then the view was gone. I still want to come back another day and see what the clouds were hiding. But sometimes hiking in bad weather has its own rewards.
