We love visiting here. It is an amazing experience to see in person. I recommend checking it out in person. Daylight, night time and at sunset. They have a really cool lighting ceremony.

The badlands are amazing! We had always seen them from I90 but never went through the park until recently. They were cool from the highway but so much better in the park. .
