It was just a short trip from Ellsworth to the Badlands so we made a side trip to Wall Drug in Wall, SD.
From there is was on to Badlands National Park.
Not far from the entrance we saw big horn sheep.
The landscape in the park reminded us of Theodore Roosevelt NP, but the layers are different.
Our first night we had a beautiful sunset.
Saturday morning we walked Fossil Trail for an earth cache.
Then we hiked Saddle Pass Trail to get to Castle and Medicine Root Trails.
We had to go over the hills to get to the trail in the grassland.
There was a great view from the top of Saddle Pass Trail.
This sign marked the halfway point of our loop.
Of course there was a sign announcing the possible presence of my least favorite critter.
The camp sites at Badlands were mostly small pullouts, but they were great for solar!
We enjoyed our stay at Badlands National Park, but it seemed like time was running out on this trip! We want to be home to vote and we still have people to see and things to do!
