Hiking, day 39: The Badlands

We spent a good part of the day crawling around the Badlands, then had a quick stop at the Minutemen Museum before heading to Keystone.

This guy just walked right up to the cars meandering through the park, so I was able to get some great pics of him!



This whole area feels like another planet.  The pics really don't do the scope of the park justice.  Out of all of our destinations on our full trip, this one was definitely the one I enjoyed the most.  What surprised me the most was how many places there are for visitors to climb and hike through the rock formations without the help of constructed walk-ways (though there are a fair amount of those, too.)  Standing on top and at the edge of some of these formations was intense!












We stopped at the visitors center for a quick look around.  They also offer tours of the launch facility, and you can drive up to some of the missile silos as well.
