Finally a part 2!
We got to the Badlands and went to the Door and Window Trails.
This is the Door Trail. It’s definitely the better of the two trails. You can get off trail and walk on the rocks but be careful, you can still fall and break your neck.
It really was an out of this world experience.
M conquered the Badlands!
Mike and M pretending to be on Vulcan
We kept driving through the badlands
And saw critters!
This was on the Window Trail, a squirrel.
Prairie Dogs
Apparently they are having a meeting
Badland Deers
Mountain Goats
And bison!! We were about to leave the Badlands, we were 5 miles from the highway and spotted the herd!
Mount Rushmore is next!!
Wow! Talk about surreal landscape! How close did the bison come to your car? That would make me a little nervous.
As close as we decided to pull up….we didn’t get that close. They looked angry. We saw some others in the Wind Cave (pics next time) and we had to drive right next to them. They were angry. These other tourists got out of their car and we were like o_O.
People who get out of their cars near extremely large wild animals are trying to get famous on youtube, I think. Don’t know it it would cover the hospital bills, tho.
