Experiences

Joseph Caylor… This is one of those parks I could spend an entire month in, and still not find every feature or place that I wanted to really explore. Although I was only there for a day, I saw enough to make me return, the sheer size and views of this place is truly astounding. Like many great expansive places such as Badlands, words and even pictures can't accurately describe the experience you get when you look down into the valleys, and see a bison herd at a distance. To me, this is what South Dakota is truly about, and there's nothing but good here at Badlands National Park. It's definitely a place that is worthy and memorable as any other parks in our country.
