Badlands National Park of South Dakota

[jdp349]

If you haven't been there you must go. Sections of it look like the surface of mars and just over the cliffs towering in front of you are seemingly endless grasslands full of buffalo, prairie dogs, big horn sheep and coyotes. I saw so much wildlife in my time there that towards the end it seemed almost mundane!

My favorite shot I got from the trip, I thought it was rather dramatic.

1. ...........

As man emerges from the bowels of the earth,
he gazes in all directions, and wonders of
his place and purpose in this world.

7. Been there many many times

I've been going there once or twice a year for many years. My son and I pitch a tent at our favorite spot in the park and camp for 3 or 4 days.
