Badlands National Park, South Dakota - Panorama Point (2019)
Badlands National Park (Lakota: Makȟóšiča) is an American national park located in southwestern South Dakota. The park protects 242,756 acres (379.3 sq mi; 982.4 km2) of sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles, along with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The National Park Service manages the park, with the South Unit being co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres (100.2 sq mi; 259.6 km2) of the park as a designated wilderness area, and is one site where the black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered mammals in the world, was reintroduced to the wild. The South Unit, or Stronghold District, includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m).
Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. Badlands was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978. Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957–58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. Movies such as Dances with Wolves (1990) and Thunderheart (1992) were partially filmed in Badlands National Park.

Hey everyone, I compiled some video of the majority of overlooks and pullouts in Badlands National Park so you have an idea of what to expect at each location. This video includes Fossil Exhibit Trail, Big Badlands, Pinnacles, Conata Basin, Burns Basin, Panorama Point, White River Valley Overlook, Yellow Mounds and Bigfoot Pass Overlook. This is a truly amazing place and was formed from hundreds of thousands of years of erosion. Badlands NP has arguably the most abundant fossil beds to date!

Big Badlands Overlook in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, United States
A look at the Big Badlands Overlook in Badlands National Park. A beautiful view!
Badlands National Park
Recorded June 24, 2019
Located in southwestern South Dakota, Badlands National Park consists of 244,000 acres of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and towering spires blended with the largest protected mixed grass prairie in the United States. It is desolation at its truest, where you can look for miles and see no sign of civilization. Bison, bighorn sheep and prairie dogs inhabit its sprawling grasslands. The Badlands Loop Road (Highway 240) winds past scenic lookouts. This video covers my drive through the park on a sunny day in June. See the index below for more details...

Badlands National Park Drive (Time Lapse)
The last park of the road trip! It’s unbelievable. It’s important to mention that the park is in the entire video, however, since it is spread out and we decided to travel along the southern part then north, we are not in the park for parts of this video.
We begin the drive on Curry Table road, passing White River Visitor Center before heading north along the Big Foot Trail adjacent to the Park. There was a huge storm brewing to the East, with the Sun setting on the West. Minute 6:00 through 7:30 truly displays the beauty of each one, showing me some of the most memorable experiences of the entire trip.
We follow Sage Creek Road through the park and link up with South Dakota Highway 240, which leads us through the park passing sites such as Pinnacles Overlook, Yellow Mounds Overlooks, Homestead Overlook, Panorama Point and the Ben Reifel Visitor Center before exiting the park in the Northeast Entrance.
