Badlands National Park
Badlands Badlands. Heading to Badlands National Park in South Dakota essentially put us over the midway point in our North American road trip.

Wildlife in Custer State Park
Our next stop on our North American Road Trip was for wildlife watching in Custer State Park, South Dakota. We took the 18 mile Wildlife Loop Road that winds it way through the prairie hills hoping to see an abundance of wildlife. There is a herd of 1300 bison in this park, and funnily enough [...]
