This Loop Road never gets boring. Pictures don't do it justice. The colors and the rock formations are something else. There are plenty of overlooks and some nice trails. It took us about 2 hours and a half to take the loop from the East Entrance to the West Entrance.

You can drive around the main rock feature areas in a couple of hours and there are two visitor centres to stop at if you want more information, restrooms, shop etc. lots of trails of different lengths are clearly marked, but we didn't do any. We were staying at Wall for 2 nights so actually visited twice, coming one evening... More

We drove the Loop Road and were amazed at the beauty of this place. We stopped several times and hiked into the Badlands. There are many great places to stop and take pictures. I can't say enough good things about this park.

First of all, the Badlands are GREAT! The loop road is a great way to get an overall feel of the park's terrain. We did a hyperlapse video while driving and it's pretty cooool - check it out! It feels like a different planet!

The Badlands Loop Road is a great way to see the park with several places to pull off and hike into the park. We drove it both ways at different times of the day. Sunrise and sunset lighting dramatically changes the colors in the rocks and grasses offering beautiful scenery at all times.

We rented a 2016 HD Electra Gilde Limited Ultra from Black Hills Harley Davidson. A good value at $159.99 for the day. My wife and I headed out from Rapid City, SD to the Badlands National Park. On the way down Rt. 44 east the signs started to disappear as did our Cell service............ About 88 miles into the trip... More
