I cannot recommend this park enough especially if you're military , you'll be given free access. It has trails, buffalo, Ram's, and out of the world overlooks of the badlands. It's safe, and people are to them selves just enjoying the nature. 10/10 recommend

I love the North Dakota badlands. It's so beautiful here, inspiring and wild! There were a lot of animals; I saw a huge herd of bison, pronghorns, deer, prairie dogs and wild horses! I climbed, hiked and even did some Plein air painting! Tip: The animals are easier to find in the morning.

This place was beautiful! There are many places to stop your car and get out and hike around! The day we went part of the road was completely closed due to construction. Right off the road, you can stop and see prairie dogs, bison, and wild horses! Definitely a nation park must do bucket list park!!

Very underrated National Park, great expansive views with curious badlands topography. Easy to spend a quick day or extended weekend backpacking trip. There's definitely some hidden gems here for those taking the time to look. Worth spending at least a weekend here if you can.

I have lived 10 miles from the south unit of the park for 15 years. The horses are in bands all over the park. If you drive slowly through the park in the morning and late afternoon you should see horses. You can follow my fb page at #wildkind_photos on fb. I post pictures of the horses and other animals I see every time I go.

Ishara Chathurangi | Jan 28, 2019
Katie Wruck | Jan 29, 2019

There are two units - North and South. The South is generally busier but has better chance of seeing lots of wildlife (bison, horses, prairie dogs, deer and kinds of birds). Plus, the South Unit has easy access from I94. The North has amazing views but not as much wildlife sightings. Both are awesome!
