Badlands National Park

Our next stop was Badlands National Park. We spent four days in the park, exploring and marveling at the colorful layers of rock and the power of erosion.

You think?


Unusual formations at each turn.


Some were smooth.


Some very jagged.


If you look carefully near the edge of the shadow in the lower part of the picture, you can see a couple of big horn sheep.


A big horn sheep walks by.


You can really see the different layers here.


This bison was in the western part of the park where we also saw prairie dogs, hawks, coyotes and many more bison.
