Badlands National Park
This striking South Dakota landscape boasts a maze of buttes, canyons, pinnacles and spires. Skeletons of three-toed horses and saber-toothed cats are among the many fossilized species found here. Wildlife abounds in the park’s 244,000 acres and can often be seen while hiking, camping and traveling the Badlands Loop Scenic Byway.
The Ben Reifel Visitor Center at Cedar Pass and the park entrance stations are closed until further notice. Please note the park's roads, overlooks and trails will remain open as conditions permit.
