Erosion

Big Badlands Overlook, Badlands National Park, South Dakota, USA

 

The Big Badlands Overlook is the first grand view as you enter from the east.

Located in southwestern South Dakota, just to the south of Interstate 90, the Badlands occupy 244,000 acres of a mixed-grass prairie. In a very arid topography, the eroded land is better known for its barren buttes, sharpened pinnacles, and one of the world’s richest fossil beds.
