Badlands, South Dakota


We departed Minnesota and headed for the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. 


The Badlands are very interesting rock formations with layers of different colors very similar to the Painted Desert in Arizona.

The boys earned another Junior Ranger badge despite throwing off the delicate balance of the Badlands ecosystem by spilling a smoothie all over a precious rock formation.

We also got to see our first herd of buffalo and plenty of prairie dogs.
