  • We enjoyed the view from Conata Basin Overlook. We were traveling east to west, and we could literally see the road ahead as it wound down below to the Yellow Mounds. Very cool.

  • Absolutely breath taking views. Come to the park early. Watch as the night sky paints the badlands with majestic and almost trippy views. Colors come to life and so does the wildlife. See the goats pop out and guide your way to a mesmerizing sunrise.
  • A very nice viewpoint along the scenic drive. Based on its location I would imagine this place being very good for sunset, although I chose to watch at Pinnacles (unsuccessfully due to clouds I might add). Either way, this one is worth stopping on the drive
