Visit the Badlands
Pictures and Information
When our relatives arrived in Tripp, SD to visit us, we suggested we drive to the Black Hills to see all the cool attractions.On the way there, we stopped at the 1880's Town, Wall Drug, and then the Badlands. So, I finally have some pictures of the Badlands!
The fee to get into the Badlands was $15.00 and good for 7 days.
On our last trip to the Badlands, we were thinking we could see the Badlands from the Badlands Wilderness Campground, which wasn't true at all, and we were so disappointed.
The nice thing about this trip, was that there was a huge storm rolling through, and it gave us a nice contrasty backdrop for the views.
