Badlands National Park, located in southwestern South Dakota, is known for its dramatic and unique landscape. It features a mix of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires, along with deep gorges and layered rock formations. The park covers over 240,000 acres and is part of the larger Badlands region, which stretches into parts of Nebraska and Wyoming as well.
The Badlands Loop Road offers stunning views and access to several scenic overlooks. The road is perfect for taking in the park’s impressive geology and diverse landscapes.
There are several trails ranging from easy walks to more challenging hikes. Popular trails include the Notch Trail, which leads to a narrow pass with a great view, and the Castle Trail, which is the park’s longest trail and provides a closer look at the landscape.
Not to far from the Park is the famous Wall Drug Store.
