Badlands National Park

South Dakota's Badlands National Park is an absolute must-see if you are there. As far as the eye can view, this enormous open area is covered by an infinite bright blue sky that contrasts with spectacular topography. Badlands is the ideal family-friendly national park, with a variety of quick and simple hiking paths that make it possible to view some of the park's most breathtaking rock formations, like the Badlands Wall.

The park is divided by a circular road, so you may drive it and see everything. Along the loop, there are several overlooks where you may pause and take in the views of this amazing landscape. Although you can explore the Badlands in about 4-5 hours, you should stay the night at one of the campgrounds. Staying over gives you the finest chances to see wildlife early in the day and late in the day, as well as the opportunity to stare up at the stars in an extremely clear night sky.
