Past few weeks I checked out and hiked in the following: the Badlands NP IN SD, Great Sand Dunes NP in CO, Theodore Roosevelt NP in ND, Devil’s Tower NM in WY, Custer State Park in SD, and Capulin Volcano NM in NM, Garden of the Gods in CO.

 

Description

A vast state park in the granite heart of the Black Hills, roamed by one of the largest free-ranging bison herds in the country. Famed for the Needles Highway, the Sylvan Lake basin and scenic wildlife loops.
