Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Friday July 17, 2020

It is hard to believe I have made it here. It was over 2000 miles of driving all by myself. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I mostly took my time with several stops along the way and enjoyed the journey.

This is the first time I have ever been here and it blows my mind. Just look at that color.

I would describe it more as sand than rock, that appears to have washed away some with the rains. I have no clue how all of this was formed, but I sure enjoy the view.

The color just amazes me.

Most of these photos were take from the road side. The drive was increadible.

This one is for you, CHOCOHOLIC! I know you like to see some self portraits.

I started to hike this area with Berkley, but he gave up pretty quickly in the 103 degree heat. I can’t say I blame him! I carried him a short ways before turning around and carrying him all the way back.

First time I have ever seen one of these signs on a trail.

The trail was really really dry!

Mountain goats???
