  • Cool spot to check out while in the park. Not sure there's much of a reason for a follow-up trip but it's a must-see while in the area.

  • Unless you plan on driving the whole route along and through the badlands, the price for a car with 2 adults and 1 toddler was expensive ($30). We only did the stop along the way as soon as you enter the park. That being said the views are excellent and worth stopping for. If passing through here again worth the 20-30 minute detour.
  • 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.
