Scenic, SD

Travel Guide

Getting up early before the crowds is always rewarding in any National Park in the USA. This time I was given the perfect light on the formations on the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. I can't wait to go back and shoot this place in the snowy winter. Hikes with solitude and the huge skies of South Dakota!

Beautiful dry camping, just outside of Badlands National Park
This place looks like an alien planet. Amazing!
