Badlands National Park, South Dakota
The Badlands National Park in South Dakota is one of the
state's natural highlights. Deep canyons, impressive rock
pinnacles and rugged mountains characterize the landscape of the
park. For millions of years, rain, frost and other weather
conditions created a vast weathered landscape that today offers
great photo opportunities.
Today the sharp mountain ridges, steep-walled canyons and
small table mountains shine in red, orange, yellow, brown and
gray colors. The characteristic colors in Badlands National Park
come from the horizontal layers of clay, sand, gravel and slate,
which discolored under the strong sun. In the past there was a
rich fauna in the region and the Badlands offered prehistoric
horses, sheep, rhinos and other animals a habitat, which was
proven by the many fossil finds. But even today there are over
37 species of mammals, such as. B. the prairie dog or a bison
herd, which have their home here.
