The Badlands are Badass! If you have not seen them in person, you really need to make a plan to visit South Dakota.
Perfect weather and wonderful views from the lookout locations in the park (also finally got a stamp in my National Parks Passport). Plus, riding in the MH, we were up high and had excellent views as we drove along.
I think I showed restraint in only posting a few pictures, but I think this will give you the idea. The one thing I couldn't get pictures of was the prairie dogs. There were tons of them with their little dirt piles, right next to the road. We stopped and looked at them and they chirped and squealed. Totally awesome and I'm sorry I couldn't get close enough for a good picture.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I've seen the Badlands! It looks pretty cool; you'd think I'd remember. We did drive all the way through SD once, so I might have (I have seen Mt. Rushmore. Thought Crazy Horse was more impressive). You two are really getting to see the country. I hope your travels take you through Missouri some time. - Robin
ReplyDeleteThe Badlands are about 1-2 hours from Mt. Rushmore and accessible right off of I-90, so chances are you were at least pretty close to the Badlands. They are pretty memorable (I remember them from being here in 1972).
DeleteI hope we get to MO sometime soon! That'll be another memorable stop!
I asked my husband. We did see the badlands. I just forgot. Lol. It was 15 years ago. Funny that I remember the "underwhelming" Corn Palace and not the Badlands. Have you been to Wall Drug yet? - Robin
