Badlands National Park

Badlands National Park is an awe-inspiring destination that should be on anyone's must-see list. The park spans 244,000 acres and features a variety of unique landscapes, from jagged cliffs to Badland formations. It is also home to some incredible wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, swift foxes, and black-footed ferrets. On the tour, we'll explore some of the park's most iconic regions, such as Sage Creek Rim Road and The Door Trail. You'll be able to witness first-hand the amazing geological formations that have been created over millions of years, and learn about the history and culture of the park. You'll also have the chance to spot some incredible wildlife up close. Throughout my tours, I make sure to stop at areas where particular species are known to frequent so you can see them in their natural habitat. From birds of prey to prairie dogs, you'll be able to observe a wide range of animals in their natural settings.
