From our campground near Rapid City, SD, we drove through Buffalo Gap National Grasslands along the Southern edge of the park. Then we drove North, quickly through that end of the park to make a brief stop at Minuteman Missile National Historic Site Visitor Center, then back down into the park. From there we took a hike on Window Trail, visited the Ben Reifel Visitor Center, then took the Badlands Loop Road to Pinnacles. From there, we headed North to Wall City where we visited Buffalo Gap National Grasslands Visitor Center, and Wall Drugs!

This really is a must see park with lots of very interesting geology and is also famous for the fossils found here.
