Let me know what you think of the 60frames per second on this one, please. We rolled into Sioux Falls, SD a bit late and I had to hustle to catch the light. We'd stopped here before on our way west but only seen the falls and river. The city is pretty fantastic and the actual falls (towards the end) are wonderfully beautiful. The downtown though was all done up for Christmas and just charming. I hope you enjoy it. I could definitely go back and explore some more with the whole family. -Henry

My Story: I'm a filmmaker by trade. In 2016, we sold our house to go traveling for the year in Europe. Since I couldn't work there, I decided to start another TH-cam Channel. I love walking as a way to explore and this was an easy thing to share. It got popular and I've continued. My goal is to share these treadmill travel videos to help your work out with virtual walks.

Sioux Falls Wikipedia:
Sioux Falls is the most populous city in the U.S. state of South Dakota and the 131st-most populous city in the United States. It is the county seat of Minnehaha County and also extends into Lincoln County to the south, proximate with the Iowa state line. As of 2020, Sioux Falls had a population of 192,517. The Sioux Falls metro area accounts for more than 30% of the state's entire population. Chartered in 1856 on the banks of the Big Sioux River, the city is situated in the rolling hills at the junction of interstates 29 and 90.
According to Best Life magazine, Sioux Falls is the healthiest city in the United States and is often considered one of the healthiest cities in the US by many other organizations.
The history of Sioux Falls revolves around the cascades of the Big Sioux River. The falls were created about 14,000 years ago during the last ice age. The lure of the falls has been a powerful influence. Ho-Chunk, Ioway, Otoe, Missouri, Omaha (and Ponca at the time), Quapaw, Kansa, Osage, Arikira, Dakota, and Cheyenne people inhabited and settled the region previous to Europeans and European descendants. Numerous burial mounds still exist on the high bluffs near the river and are spread throughout the general vicinity. Indigenous people maintained an agricultural society with fortified villages, and the later arrivals rebuilt on many of the same sites that were previously settled. Lakota populate urban and reservation communities in the contemporary state and many Lakota, Dakota, and numerous other Indigenous Americans reside in Sioux Falls today.
French voyagers/explorers visited the area in the early 18th century. The first documented visit by an American of European descent was by Philander Prescott, who camped overnight at the falls in December 1832. Captain James Allen led a military expedition out of Fort Des Moines in 1844. Jacob Ferris described the Falls in his 1856 book "The States and Territories of the Great West".
Two separate groups, the Dakota Land Company of St. Paul and the Western Town Company of Dubuque, Iowa organized in 1856 to claim the land around the falls, considered a promising townsite for its beauty and water power. Each laid out 320-acre (1.3 km2) claims, but worked together for mutual protection. They built a temporary barricade of turf which they dubbed "Fort Sod", in response to native tribes attempting to defend their land from the settlers. Seventeen men then spent "the first winter" in Sioux Falls. The following year the population grew to near 40.
Although conflicts in Minnehaha County between Native Americans and white settlers were few, the Dakota War of 1862 engulfed nearby southwestern Minnesota. The town was evacuated in August of that year when two local settlers were killed as a result of the conflict. The settlers and soldiers stationed here traveled to Yankton in late August 1862. The abandoned townsite was pillaged and burned.
Fort Dakota, a military reservation established in present-day downtown, was established in May 1865. Many former settlers gradually returned and a new wave of settlers arrived in the following years. The population grew to 593 by 1873, and a building boom was underway in that year.
The arrival of the railroads ushered in the great Dakota Boom decade of the 1880s. The population of Sioux Falls mushroomed from 2,164 in 1880 to 10,167 at the...

Sioux Falls is an awesome city- great people there. Tremendous atmosphere, and a vibrant energy. I've since lived in Chicago, Baltimore, and now in Peoria, IL and there is nothing close to Sioux Falls. That city will always have a spot in my heart.
Hi Josh, we've only spent a few half days there but I'd love to go back and give it its due. Seems like everything you say it is. Thanks for watching and commenting. -H
Its it humid there. Heard it was. I keep on moving back to idaho because it's dry here, including summer.
Nice job and tour of DT Sioux Falls. I grew up in Sioux Falls, moved away for some years and it was great to comeback again at the turn of the century. This city has always been a clean, vibrant midwest town with friendly people and lots of great out door fun. Raising a family, a quiet solid community with good quality jobs and living is basically Sioux Falls in a nutshell. 😎👍🇺🇸
Love getting the information from a local. Thanks so much. I really enjoyed my walk there and can imagine it being a nice place to live. - H
It is NOT the midwest
@@Yoursistersazz Okay, Great Plains, dont be so darn technical, many people in this area say midwest 😁
Loved that old courthouse at the beginning.
The Falls are amazing. You didn’t need to say they were close. You could hear the water! Stunning. Just stunning.
I’m enjoying the 60 fps.
So glad you liked it, mags. Thanks for the feedback on the frame rate as well. The rest of this road trip was filmed in 24P but I might experiment with 60 P going forward. Thanks so much. - H
Over 50 years ago that was the Federal Building where I used to work for GSA. We kept the building very clean back then.
Great job! Thank you for the walk. I am moving here in a couple of months. Helped me to get a better look @ downtown.
Wonderful to know this was helpful. Best of luck with the move! -H
Beautiful day for walking, the city looks so clean and peaceful
Thanks for visiting
Nice city, looks interesting. Quite quiet in this hour, but peaceful and enjoyable. The river reminds me of London's Paddington area (except for the quietness 😀) Thank you for the virtual tour and the narration!
Glad you enjoyed it. That's curious about Paddington. We've been to London several times now and still have so much to learn and experience there. Can wait to get back. -H
I live in Sioux Falls. Nice video. Usually the river has a lot more water and flow to it, but unfortunately we are in a drought
Sorry to hear that but thanks for the info. I really enjoyed the brief time in the city and I'd love to go back for another visit someday. -H
Loved this I've always wanted to go to the Midwest!!
This was a really cool city. I'd love to go back and spend some more time there. Thanks for watching and commenting . -H
Loved the falls. Did not know they were in the middle of town
I was surprised by that too the first time we came through. Thanks for speaking up. -H
Very cool !
Thanks so much Ron! -H
Thank you for returning me briefly to my home, notwithstanding I wasn’t along for the walk and talk. Romain
You’re welcome 😊 Romain. Hope I did it justice. -H
Nice atmosphere. I like how Pocket 2 caputres autumn/winter lights with low hanging sun quite well. The contrast between sky and ground isn't too bad!
It does a really good job. Thanks for watching and the great comments. -H
Wow what a beautiful city
I thought so too, especially dressed up for Christmas. Thanks for watching and commenting. - H
Impressive moose sculpture at 8:48. Great video Henry.
I loved it too. Thanks for watching and commenting -H
At the end of this video, I wished there was more! But I guess I have to wait to be on the next trip with you! Thanks so much! : )
More to come! Thanks. -H
My old stomping grounds!! Thank you so much for the video!! That was in 1940s to1961.
Hi Justine, wow, what changes you must have seen. -H
Lovely walk Henry. Anywhere near a river,falls or lake is so cathartic
I totally agree. Something about that is so invigorating but peaceful at the same time. -H
If you walked the same path along the river today, the Autumn of 2023, you’d see a lot has changed from a lot of buildings gone up. Downtown is growing more horizontally and expanding northward. I don’t think they want any tall buildings in downtown, for what ever reason. Maybe to keep the city’s small town look and appeal.
I enjoyed walking here awhile back, the falls area is so nice
It really is! Glad you got to see it. -H
Thank you it’s very nice there
Thank you too -H
Nice job, thank you
Thanks for watching! -H
Great video. Relocating from Dallas to SF because Dallas got too crowded with people from CA and NY. Visited SF every year in the summer. It's a beautiful city. 4k60 looked great on my 4k monitor. Cheers.
Hi Ian, Thanks for that feedback and all the best on your move. -H
Thank you sir @@CityWalks
I lived in the apartments to the left at the three minute mark from 1996-1998. So many things have changed on that block but I have a ton of memories!
Hi Brent, thanks for sharing that. -H
Looks like the Bolton Abbey`s Strid.
Not familiar. Thanks for commenting though. -H
Thank you for the walk Henry. A clean and pretty city that lives up to its natural surroundings. I like cities that have a lot to offer yet don't feel crowded. Speaking of high points, I live 30 miles from Vermont's highest point and 70 miles from New York's. Both are really pretty. I'm also fortunate enough to have a clear view of Vermont's highest peak from my window at work. Hope all is well with you.
Hi Tom, My son is excited to get up that way and collect some more high points. We got to 10 on this trip, mostly drive ups but with one 7 mile bike ride. I think the ones up your way require a little more effort! Hope winter is treating you well. -H
@@CityWalks There is a road up to Mt Mansfield in Vermont, but, it closes for the winter, as I am sure many roads in Montana do.
@@TomSealey Nice. -H
Grew up in Sioux Falls. Washington pavilion was the old high school.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I was impressed by the city. -H
Left Sioux Falls SD 2 months ago I am homesick everyday. Live in a city where the 1st thing you see is homeless ppl on your way to work
Most big cities have a homeless issue. It's a complex problem with no simple fix IMO. That said, we sure enjoyed our brief moment in Sioux Falls. We'd love to go back and give it a couple days to explore and enjoy it. -H
The Washington pavilions has stages for plays. Art studios. Office places use to have the live concerts.. untill Standford àrena was built. Sioux falls is all so the home of two LARGE Hospitals Standford medical. And Avera McKennan. They both have cancer center Heart Hospitals and other specialty
More great info Susan! Thanks so much for adding great value to this. -H
@@CityWalks The Washington Pavillon used to be the first high school built in Sioux Falls, in 1908, out of our native pink quartz. My husband and I both attended high school there. It and the old courthouse building, also pink stone, have always been my favorite buildings in Sioux Falls. I think the building you identified as the courthouse in the beginning of your video was actually the old post office, but I’m 72 years old and my memory isn’t what it used to be. The courthouse I remember is close to the Falls, with a soaring clock tower, located on the corner of Main and 6th St.
Falls Park was once a dark and dangerous place to be once the sun went down. My husband proposed to me, standing on rocks with the Falls rushing around us at our feet, almost 57 years ago. Supposedly the old courthouse closed for business in 1962 but that’s not quite correct, unless most business was conducted at the newer courthouse and records were still obtained at the old one, because went up the steps into to that old pink courthouse to obtain my birth certificate for our marriage license in 1968.
@@dianebadget776 Hi Diane, That's wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing all that local knowledge and memories. Much appreciated and I hope you enjoyed the video. I'd love to get back there in warmer weather and spend some more time. -H
Hi Mr.Henry 😊❤. Would you please to take our walkers to tour MT.Rushmore .?
That's a great suggestion. I'll add it to the list. Thanks so much. -H
You should move to Sioux Falls South Dakota and I by the way I’m only 16 years old and I was in a play at the Sioux Falls Orpheum Theatre over the summer we had 3 shows and the play was called Annie Jr. and It was through the penguin project I don’t live in Sioux Falls but I live in Brandon South Dakota which is close to Sioux Falls and I have multiple friends that live in Sioux Falls and Sioux Falls is the best city in the world
Hi Carson. Glad you love living there. Very cool city and thanks for commenting. -H
Why is so empty? Looks like a ghost town. Passing cars just sent me a weird sense.
Hi Jemi, it was pretty early in the morning. Thanks for watching and commenting. -H
Jemi... At .40 sec in. He says its Sun eve around 4 pm. My guess is sunday afternoon, at 4 pm and 40° outside in November, most of the traffic would be at the mall doing there Christmas shopping. This guy not being from the area wouldn't know that. Downtown is pretty dead. Unless its mon thru fri. As a former resident, this guy was more of a miss for me. If you want to know which mall, just ask
@P M downtown is pretty much dead unless its mon-friday?? I wouldve thought the exact opposite, being busy from friday-sunday
Is there a place where people gather to listen to music or view art.
Hi Brett, hopefully a local will share some knowledge on this. -H
Levitt ctr is a outdoor amphitheater just above the falls, on the opposite side of the river , from where he walked. They have 20 to 30 free concerts all summer long, with up to 8000 people attending seated in lawn chairs, blankets on the grass. Maybe Google or TH-cam Levitt sioux falls.
@@allanhigby5917 Thanks for adding this info! -H
It is called levitt at the falls.
The city’s grown about 20,000 people today since this walking tour was made. I think the rate of growth is increasing as people in other cities are abandoning them because of the political environment is making them very unpopular as well as unlivable. Cities like Sioux Falls are absorbing them.
Wow. That’s a lot of people. Interesting perspective. Thanks so much. -H
You just can't do the city justice by roaming around in the winter. Actually, the city is beautiful when the trees are full. Can't understand all these outsiders coming to video the city at the worst time of year. And City Walks doesn't seem to have done much due diligence on the city at all. Walking in all the wrong places, not knowing the most important buildings, etc. GOOGLE IT!
Sorry Amanda that you didn’t like it. Maybe other channels would be a better option for you. Thanks for your feedback.
Sorry, but such a boring place. Kinda like a visit to ,Fresno, CA.
Hi Nick, sorry you didn’t care for it. Incidentally, I have also made a walk at Fresno and actually thought it was a beautiful city. That’s OK, not all walks or for everyone. All the best and keep on stepping - H.
Boring is now good in this crazy matrix world we now live
Who is the top employers in sioux falls for immigrants and refugees?
Hopefully another viewer can answer this one for you. -H
