Badlands National Park
|
 |
Consists of 244,000 acres of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires blended with the largest, protected mixed grass prairie in the United States
| John's Comments | This drive-thru park shows one, multi-layers of sandstone/shale where normally grass fields would be. Makes for great pictures but after viewing 2-3 stopovers, that was enough for me. The rock (sand/shale) formations are quite different than the surrounding countryside and the colors in the rocks are very striking. The Badland National Park has a park road that goes thru the middle of it that allows for easy viewing from your vehicle. The area has also at least a dozen stops along the way, that allow one to get out of the vehicle, take a very short walk, and see the Badlands close up. |
