Badlands on the way home
Being from Chicago, I go back to visit my folks fairly often and I like to drive. This summer, my family and I spent a night in Badlands National Park in South Dakota along the way. It wasn’t our first visit to the park, but it was the most time we had spent there. A fabulous landscape, rich in story and geometry, it was a visual joy.

Thomas where are you fron in Chicagoland? I was born and raised in Glen Ellyn, 30 miles west of the city.
These are just amazing, When I lived up north I always planned to visit and camp there, but never did. These photos have inspired me to make a new plan to get there.
Thanks, Sandie!
Kirk, I’m from La Grange Park, a bit south of Glen Ellyn, I think, but not too far. Haven’t lived there for — yikes — nearly 30 years, but do get back fairly often. Nice to know of another Mid-Westerner making a home out West.
