Badlands National Park

Just saying the name “Badlands” bring to mind visions of vast wasteland, deserts and landscapes without color.  But nothing could be farther from reality.  We headed out to visit the park mid morning.  The drive from Hermosa took about 90 minutes.  As soon as we were out of town, we passed a herd of Bison!  I was totally unprepared as my camera was still in the case.  Rats!  Ah well, I have seen them before but still….


The landscape passed through grasslands and ranches of cattle and Bison.  A pretty drive with everything green and lush.  Gradually, we began to see rock formations in the distance; we were finally approaching the park.  Badland Park contains waste land, desert-type areas but it also contains grasslands with cattle and farms with corn etc.  It is an amazing place.  Pictures tell the tale.











Large herd of Bison was a surprise.

Yep, two happy campers!
