Badlands National Park 🥾

📍 Badlands National Park is located in South Dakota

🪨It’s full of layered rock formations, canyons and towering spires.

🦬 Youcould find bison, bighorn sheep and prairie dogs. Also rattlesnakes🐍

I highly recommend notch trail. It’s moderate because there’s a bit of a wobbly ladder to climb and some unstable rock. But it’s worth the view!

I was absolutely blown away by this park. The rugged yet beautiful terrain was breathtaking. And...and I didn't even know that you could hike and play within the Badlands. I mean, it's hot as bleep in the summer, but how fun in the cooler months. #access to all national parks #yournation
