Badlands

This was a more off grid place less visitors and traffic than South Dakota. Very similar to the Badlands and enjoyed it much more. Definitely worth the trip.

HUGE Park

Make sure you take your time and plan on spending the good part of a day here. We had to stop for some wild horses crossing the road which was so interesting. Saw lots of wildlife - the horses, prairie dogs, coyote, and buffalo.

A gem of a national park

This national park is so isolated that very few people visit the park annually. That makes it so pleasant, open and uncluttered. In fact, there are no concessions and only 1 bathroom in the entire park! We were able to see bison, wild long horn...More

How long is the loop to drive

June 27, 2019|

AnswerShow all 6 answers

If I remember correctly, it was 16 miles. Part of the road was damaged and closed when we were there, so we drove as far as we could and then had to go back out the same way we came in... rather than just making a loop... More
