South Dakota Badlands

Visiting our daughter and son-in-law in South Dakota was the highlight of our year. There is something so grounding about reconnecting with family, and South Dakota’s natural beauty made the experience even more special. From the sweeping views of the Badlands to the quiet charm of the Black Hills, every moment felt unforgettable.

Exploring the Badlands: A Must-See South Dakota Landscape Our trip began at Badlands National Park, one of South Dakota’s most iconic destinations. The dramatic layered rock formations, colorful cliffs, and wide-open prairie stretched as far as we could see. The shifting light brought out shades of pink, gold, and rust—creating some of the most stunning views we’ve ever experienced. It’s easy to understand why the Badlands are considered one of the top natural attractions in the Midwest.
