- Badlands National Park is an American national park located in southwestern South Dakota. The park protects 242,756 acres (379.3 sq mi; 982.4 km2) of sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles, along with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The National Park Service manages the park, with the South Unit being co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres (100.2 sq mi; 259.6 km2) of the park's North Unit as a designated wilderness area, and is one site where the black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered mammals in the world, was reintroduced to the wild. The South Unit, or Stronghold District, includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m).
Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. Badlands was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978. Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957-58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. The movies Dances with Wolves (1990) and Thunderheart (1992) were partially filmed in Badlands National Park.
This national park was originally a reservation of the Oglala Sioux Indians and spans the southern unit of the park. The area around Stronghold Table was originally Sioux territory, and is revered as a ceremonial sacred site rather than a place to live.
In 1868, at the Second Treaty of Fort Laramie, the United States assured the Sioux that the Badlands shall forever be the property of the Sioux. In 1889, however, the treaty was broken and the Badlands were confiscated by the United States and unilaterally incorporated into a national park.
At the end of the 19th century, the Sioux Indians used this area as the site of the Ghost Dance, a ceremony to revive the souls of buffalo and the dead. After the last ghost dance in 1890, the United States banned the ritual, but it was revived by the Red Power movement, a movement to restore Indian rights that began in the 1960s. In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court awarded compensation to the Sioux for the abrogation of the 1868 treaty, but the Sioux did not accept the money.

Looks like another planet. I want to see it! America is beautiful. From Virginia
Thanks. It is beautiful lands.👍👍
„sheltered in the vasteness“ many years ago a psychoanalytic tells to me and exactly this i found some years later in the badlands.
as i arrived i feel like coming home although i never was there bevore.
as i leave at my last visit it feels as only my body leaves and my soul stays there.
that,s a feeling it is hard to describe and never had have it on an other place on earth.
thank you for sharing this video😊
Oh my stars. Here is another must see in person. If the Badlands were once covered by an ancient ocean this would be great topography. And if it was, did the ocean retreat before Yellowstone erupted over 600,000 years ago? That would explain why it was easy for the ashfall to cover so many prehistoric animals in that Museum in Nebraska. And could we find traces of that eruption in the layers of sandstone in the Badlands. Oh the questions. That place is a armchair geologists dream. Thank you. :D
I have lived in SD for 33 years and drove around the Badlands every summer but never have driven Sage Creek Rd. Thanks for driving me thru there so I will consider to drive there next summer.
This was my first visit to SD. You are very lucky to have lived there so many years. It's one of the most beautiful states in my opinion, especially the southwestern part of the state. I hope to make it back soon. Glad you enjoyed the video! If you take the Sage Creek drive I recommend stopping at Roberts Prairie Dog Town.
P.S. I love it when you go off asphalt or whatever they make highways out of :D
I'm glad you enjoy it! The off roading segments are my favorite too!
Beautiful scenery! 🙂👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it. Love your channel also!
I live here in FL, I would love to take a vacation to a place that is completely different...this looks like a good candidate.
It would have been cool to visit the sites were Dances With Wolves
Yes it would have been!
Funny they call it bad lands because I would live there in a heartbeat. Great video
You and me both! I love it there. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
