Short drive for us to get to the hottest State we have set foot in yet…South Dakota.

Our first stop today was at Sioux Fall, SD. We had a fun time walking around the park and climbing the falls.

Back in the car we went to drive West, only state we drove through was South Dakota. On our way we went over the Missouri River. Now we are in the West, or Rocky Mountain Region.

We finally made it…our 1st National Park.

Badlands National Park

Camp is set up, now time to hang out in the 110 degree heat. It is hot and we do not have any AC at this campground.

We had time to explore some when we arrived so we went “Window” and “Door” Trails. The landscape feels like clay built up in to little and large dunes. I was a dying hike.

Time for dinner and to cool off after the sunset.
