Badlands National Park – The Landscape

Interior, SD is approximately 550 miles from our doorstep.  It wasn’t a bad drive at all and thankfully we had no major delays.  You have a few choices for camping in close proximity to Badland National Park.  Both Cedar Pass Campground and the White River KOA are very close.  If you like trees and perhaps some shade, the latter is your better choice.  White River KOA is only 8 miles south from Interior.  Post Labor Day meant no crowds; we were fine with that.  The campground had nice sites with shade and clean restroom/showers.  A perfect base for our two-day stay.

After setting up camp we headed into the park to find a suitable sunset location;  we decided on Pinnacles Overlook in Badlands National Park.  Here are a few photos from that evening.
