We were so pleased with this detour from the Interstate. Yes, it costs $30 per car, but the views were worth it. Always glad to support our National Parks.

Driving through the Badlands along Loop Rd. gave me the feeling of being on a movie set of a film made on another planet.

We've been to almost all of the major national parks and this place ranks right up there. We spent the whole day here doing many great hikes, most short but interesting.

The ranger in the visitor center was helpful and pointed us to the best area to see bison. I suggest you go early in the day to avoid crowds, increase the chance of seeing wildlife, and the lighting is better for photography.…
