We have spent the last three days in Badlands National Park and have made several passes on the Loop Road. It is truly amazing in our travels we have seen a Buffalo cross the road in front of us, pronghorn antelope, prairie dogs, big horned sheep, mule deer and coyotes. The scenery changes as the sun light changes! A must see for all!!!

This was our first stop during our drive through the Badlands. It was a great first impression of such a vast park and incredible place. Everyone should stop here and take some photos.

Area of Badlands National Park with unusual scenery and wildlife such as bighorn sheep, buffalo, black-footed ferrets and prairie dogs.

Much less crowded then the loop road I enjoyed the beauty and the peace there. But mind - its all gravel road so if another car passes or you are behind another you have to wait till the dust settles so you can see anything again. And there are not many "official" spots to park and enjoy the view. Nevertheless its absolutely worth driving there and enjoy the fascinating landscape.

Family loved the drive as it felt like you were off roading. You will reach the small parking area to ciew sheep mountain table. Next, We opted to walk the road past the parking lot which requires a high clearance vehicle. We have a Ford edge. Not sure if a regular crossover suv would be high enough and not worth messing up your vehicle. The walk up this road is pleasant on a overcast day. No shade. Even two young kids made it. At the end of the walk maybe a mile you get more amazing views.
