Look Skim...

They got rattlers!!!!

Millions of years of wind, water and erosion,

have created the chiseled spires, deep canyons and jagged buttes of Badlands National Park.

Spectacular colour display...

On-going rains, freezes and thaws have revealed millions of years of sediment that paint a colorful landscape on the prairies of southwestern South Dakota.

Some of the most famous fossil beds are found in badlands,..

Where erosion rapidly exposes the sedimentary layers..

Did You Know?

25% of Badlands National Park is a designated wilderness area.

Badlands contain steep slopes,

Its make up is loose dry soil, slick clay, and deep sand, all of which impede travel..

Badlands National Park is open 24 hours a day, seven days per week.

Well worth a visit....

Did you say...

Buffalo burger?(sorry Bill the buffalo)
