    Badlands has the most unique view I've ever seen! I've never seen anything like it. The mountains have this strange formation and the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend you to stop by and go along the scenic route. It does add some minutes to your trip but it is really interesting to check.

    Just stay on the trail to avoid rattlesnakes.
