We arrived at the Badlands KOA early on August 1st, so we decided to do half the scenic loop. Terri was very happy because Badlands reminded her of giant sand castles and she has been missing the beach!
It was very difficult to hike on the soft sedimentary rock. As you can see, all of the loose rock became very slick when trying to climb the sculpted hills. To me, it was a smaller scaled Bryce Canyon of sorts. we walked out on to some over- looks to catch a different view.
It was funny, for days Terri kept saying, “I want to see Big Horn Sheep!” As we were leaving our last overlook- she screamed, “Lookie, Loookie- A herd of BIG HORN SHEEP!
Terri sent me out of the car to get closer pics. Some how she gets to be Marlin Perkins and I am always Jim Fowler from Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom. Remember Marlin? “While I am hiding safely behind a rock, Jim is castrating a Brahman Bull!”
Jim made it safely back to the truck! What an awesome site!
