Tourist Guide

Getting up early before the crowds is always rewarding in any National Park in the USA. This time I was given the perfect light on the formations on the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. I can't wait to go back and shoot this place in the snowy winter. Hikes with solitude and the huge skies of South Dakota!
Beautiful dry camping, just outside of Badlands National Park
This place looks like an alien planet. Amazing!
This place is always cool to see and explore in #adventure
I’ll never forget finding this family group of bighorn sheep – here, a female and six lambs – on rocks concealed by a high hilltop. It’s amazing what you’ll discover when you follow a trail of scat! The park rangers are also so helpful in sharing where and when you have the best chances of viewing wildlife, including bighorns, bison, and prairie dogs. Keep your eyes open. You never know what you’ll find! But keep your distance, too, and respect not just the beauty but also the wildness of nature and its creatures. #Adventure

9.4/10 Exceptional! (685 reviews)
Overall a terrific place. I wish that other guests would be asked to not honk their horns when locking their vehicles. That is likely to be a tall order considering the mentality of American tourons.
