We could not have asked for more perfect weather for our two stay in the Badlands National Park. We had bright blue skies with just the right amount of clouds. The storm clouds were the icing on the cake. The beauty of this land is in its vast and desolate nature. This protected land is comprised of just under 250,000 acres of eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires among the expansive prairie the makes up most of Eastern South Dakota.
