Badlands South Dakota
The Badlands National Park of South Dakota offers  a 40 mile loop road through an eroded landscape.  
where many pullouts offer viewing of animals and the stratified cliffs.  The loop road makes a good option
for east west travelers who can leave I-90 and enjoy the Badlands Sightseeing without changing direction.
At the western end of the Badlands Loop road you find the town of Wall and its famous Wall Drug.
Five cent coffee, home made donuts, and acres of memorabilia for the shopper.
The Badlands lies at the southwestern corner of South Dakota near enough to Mount
Rushmore, Deadwood, Keystone and Rapid City
to put plenty of activity within reach. For
Interstate 90 travelers it is a good diversion and with its east west loop road it makes a handy
detour while still keeping direction.
A campground and RV park make a good stop: $15 per night.   
( $15 Vehicle Entry fee,  $10 Motorcycle,  $7 biker or hiker)
