Last Evening in Badlands NP

After my searing hike up Saddle Pass and around the loop trail, and a quick visit to Wall Drug, I returned for my final evening in Badlands National Park. Also, I had decided on doing a couple more hikes, albeit very short hikes.

Daytime at Badlands


After a 700+ mile drive from Illinois to South Dakota on a Thursday in June. I enjoyed a gorgeous evening visit to Badlands National Park. As darkness fell, I returned to Wall, SD for a good night’s rest while looking forward to spending the next day (Friday) at the park.

I was on my own. On the road. My schedule. I could go where I wanted when I wanted to. I was out west and I was there to explore.

I was tired but the lure of the next adventure kept me in motion.
