I love the Badlands and will continue to go back every chance I get! There are fossils lying all over the place, which is fun and unusual, and it is one of the few NP that you are allowed to go hiking off the trails – a little scary at first, but you can get away from the people and see some amazing things! I could never live there, but I really enjoy the stark beauty on vacations. The visitor center also has really great information!
