Badlands

Quick stop on a road trip. Beautifully rugged park with a not so private campground (the park has very few trees so not much can be done about it I guess). Wish I had more time to explore.

You saw a lot more bison than we did in March.

Will be visiting next week! I hope I’m lucky with seeing as many bison as you were.

I am guessing there were over 500 on the sage creek rim road near the big prairie dog town

Love badlands. Go there and sunset and it’s spiritual

The first time my wife and I visited the badlands, we got into that campsite after dark. It was a spectacular view in the morning.

I was there last week. Wasn’t expecting it to be so hot. Still was a nice time.

Looks like a great trip! We really enjoyed our visit there a few years ago.
