Traveling Through Badlands National Park

If you are traveling along I-90 through South Dakota, you will see a sign for the Badlands Scenic Drive. I would highly recommend you take this scenic drive into Badlands National Park. You can drive straight through and enjoy the scenery and wildlife, stop at the viewpoints, take short hikes, or stop at the visitor. This is my review of the best places to spot wildlife, get of the car for great hikes, and the best viewpoints.
