Badlands National Park

57.1 Miles
Badlands National Park in South Dakota is a striking landscape of jagged peaks, layered rock, canyons, and vast prairies. Its colorful formations reveal millions of years of geological history shaped by wind and water. Home to bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and the rare black-footed ferret, the park offers rugged hikes, sweeping overlooks, and some of North America's clearest night skies—a place where nature tells its timeless story.
