The Badlands Nat'l Park






The scenery here is amazing. Such beauty. We are being treated here at the Badland and on our drives but beautiful wildflowers. They really dress up the already spectacular views. The first day here was rainy, but that was fine as we were so tired from the 4 long driving days to get here. We enjoyed a day to nap!











We had a nice sunny day the second day of our Badlands stay. Les and I hiked a trail to an overlook. See the ladder that was part of our trial? My thighs are going to be talking to me the next couple days.









I then dropped Les off at a trailhead to walk another 2 1/2 miles on a different trail. He enjoyed that trail although it was getting hot by then.




We drove 10 1/2 hours today (Wednesday) to go to our next destination, Yellowstone. We stopped in the town of Grey Bull which is still about 3 hours from our first campground in Yellowstone! Things are so far apart here. But we are seeing some amazing sights. We plan 5 nights in Yellowstone in three differents areas of the park. I'm afraid that we will not have cell or wifi there so we will post again later.
