Badlands National Park, South Dakota - Roberts Prairie Dog Town (2019)
Badlands National Park (Lakota: Makȟóšiča) is an American national park located in southwestern South Dakota. The park protects 242,756 acres (379.3 sq mi; 982.4 km2) of sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles, along with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The National Park Service manages the park, with the South Unit being co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres (100.2 sq mi; 259.6 km2) of the park as a designated wilderness area, and is one site where the black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered mammals in the world, was reintroduced to the wild. The South Unit, or Stronghold District, includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m).
Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. Badlands was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978. Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957–58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. Movies such as Dances with Wolves (1990) and Thunderheart (1992) were partially filmed in Badlands National Park.

There is simply no place in the world quite like the Badlands. We think the Badlands National Park in South Dakota may be our one of our favorite parks! We are already planning our next visit, it is that awesome! Driving into the epic views from our front window had us completely in awe! The towering layered rock formations shifts from grassland to massive canyons and spans over 240,000 acres. There have been over 200 species of birds recorded in the park. Be sure to bring your binoculars!
This park is home to bison, longhorn sheep, bobcat, bison and the endangered black-footed ferret.
The first stop we made was the Ben Reifel Visitor Center. The rangers gave us maps, information on hikes and where we would mostly be able to view wildlife.
We started out driving the 40 mile Badlands Loop Road. There are dozens of places you can pull off and walk to observation areas to soak in all the beauty and take some amazing photos. Most of the hiking trails are accessible from this loop.
Be sure to stop at Roberts Prairie Dog Town. They are located where Rim Road and Sage Creek Road meet. These cute little fluffy critters are beyond precious and entertaining. They are chatty and busy and there are hundreds of them. It is their own little city and seem to enjoy showing off for you!
We loved our visit to the Badlands. The beauty it offers is breathtaking! Have you explored this National Park? If you have, leave us a comment of your favorite memory. ????

Badlands National Park - South Dakota
On my vacation, I went to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It is a surreal landscape in the park. The towers of what I assume to be some type of sandstone remind me of what would be some sort of bug feces or something. I am going to Mount Rushmore next stop. This is part of my 2week vacation trip out West.
Black Hills SD Custer State Park ~ Prairie dog town
As i was driving I was thinking about doing another panoramic movie when I saw the pull off to park the car in a nice spot. But when I got out of the car I immediately heard the alarm bells going off. Prairie dogs don't like cars parking in their town much I guess. Technically they bark, but it sounds more like a loud chirp.. This was my last opportunity to video cool nature on my trip to Yellowstone and back. After these hills, it's all flat highway for 617.0 m or 9 h 46 min of driving to Minneapolis, MN
