    As you drive through the the park you tell yourself how much can the rock formations change. The answer is a lot. Each overlook offers its own pleasures.  more »

    Views for miles at this overlook. Depending on which direction you're headed this overlook might start to feel a little redundant, but the views don't get old in my opinion!  more »

    The Badlands is one of the most beautiful parks I've ever been to. We seen bison,sheep and many other animals during our stay. Sage creek campground was awesome.
  • By Laura Lee
    Loved the Badlands! Even though I wasn't able to walk the trails, there was so much to see from the road and the turn-outs. The speed limit is low in the park, which makes it a comfortable drive for viewing.
