SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - On this edition of Throwback Thursday, Lori Kent with the Local Lou Podcast takes us to the Wild West.
Devil’s Gulch in Garretson has a lot to explore — from walking and hiking trails to outcroppings of Sioux Quartzite.
There is also some fun lore surrounding the area, like the legend that in 1876, Jesse James jumped a horse over an 18-foot gap in rock as he was being chased.
Garretson has embraced the legend as a part of their culture, and their historical society has great information about Jesse James that you can explore.
Next week, look out for the release of two Jesse James-related episodes of the Local Lou Podcast.
