  • Stark and beautiful beyond words, with lots of wildlife and beautiful vistas. I visited in winter, and it was an amazing experience with hardly anyone there.

  • Had one of the best experiences ever at a national park. The hikes allow you to explore past the maintained trail. We were able to go way into the Badlands. The Notch trail has you climb a log...

  • Absolutely beautiful! We drove the scenic route twice. Great park for all ages. You can see so much just from your car, super easy hikes on a boardwalk at several pullovers and of course you can hike out on your own for more intense and challenging hikes. Something for everyone. If you want to see wildlife, get out early in the morning (before 9am) lots to see! Def check out the yellow mounds overlook, my personal favorite.
  • Beautiful views and so many unique rock formations. There is also wildlife in the badlands. We enjoyed watching the prairie dogs runaround. It’s a very beautiful relaxing drive around the park and make sure you stop and check out the views up close. I am in a wheelchair and they have a few areas where I could go out and get a more close-up view. We definitely recommend stopping here!
