Stop 44: The National Park They Tried to Avoid (KYD63)
Join us for Stop 44 of our journey to explore all 63 U.S. National Parks in our latest adventure as we delve into the rugged beauty of Badlands National Park. From the moment we set foot on the Notch Trail at sunrise, we were captivated by the park’s jagged rock formations and vast prairies, each telling a story of time long past.
Originally, we aimed to camp at Cedar Pass Campground but faced full occupancy. Undeterred, we found a perfect alternative at the nearby KOA, serving as an excellent base for our exploration. From hiking trails that wove through stunning landscapes to capturing our park stamp, every moment was filled with awe.
In this episode, we’ll uncover the unique features that make Badlands National Park stand out. You’ll discover its rich fossil history, the challenges faced by early travelers, and why this park, though less famous, deserves a prominent place on your must-visit list.
As our national park blitz continues, prepare for our upcoming stops at Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks, followed by Shenandoah and Mammoth Cave later this fall. We’ve got plenty of unforgettable experiences lined up as we head towards the warmth of Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains this winter, with California and Alaska awaiting us to complete KYD63!
