Looking for a colorful National Park to visit this week? Badlands National Park ποΈ is definitely where it's at!!! Located on the southwest side of South Dakota, you will not be disappointed!
So how do the Badlands get it's beautiful colors π€π€π€ Due to the land being so ruthlessly ravaged by wind and water for thousands and thousands of years, mother nature has artistically made this place a true piece of art π¨. The Badlands are a wonderland of bizarre, colorful spires and pinnacles, massive buttes and deep gorges. Erosion of the Badlands creates & reveals sedimentary layers of different colors: purple and yellow (shale), tan and gray (sand and gravel), red and orange (iron oxides) and white (volcanic ash). Pretty cool! πππ
