Custer State Park & Badlands National Park


 The visitors center had a really good short movie about the park and map with the 2 bison herds marked on it. We found one!
 Our closest encounter with wildlife (thankfully it was not with rattlesnake as some signs warned of those) but this fast and cool pronghorn antelope!
Many prairie dog colonies in these grasslands
 Ooh! Bison right behind us!

Another herd of buffalo greeted us at the entrance to Badlands National Park before we drove through (didn't cost us much time to drive through vs. the parallel I-90, but we could have spent more time stopping or hiking if it wasn't 90 plus degrees)


The landscape is dramatic and reminiscent of Grand Canyon


 With sharp eyes, we spotted big horn sheep
