The Badlands

Striped rock formations eroded into spires and canyons across a prairie that otherwise runs flat to the horizon, bison herds roaming the same grassland Lakota hunting parties once did, and a night sky dark enough to see the Milky Way without trying.
The best time to visit The Badlands is May–Jun, Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 16°C (61°F).
