The central portion of the drive (and 3rd of 4 sections of
Badlands National Park posts) will continue to provide amazing vistas of a
range of geological features in colors that are sublime. There is also an area to get out and
explore information about the fossil history of the park. At one overlook I got my first distant views
of a Bighorn Sheep, but it took me looking at the image from the camera up
close to realize it was wearing a radio collar! Again, I'm re-sharing the two maps for the integrity of this
post.
The drive through the park moves in turns from the plateau
over the badlands to the plain stretching out below and back again.
This is the pull off area for the extended accessible hiking
trail and Fossil exhibits. The trail is set up as a level boardwalk to
accommodate otherly-mobile individuals such as those with wheelchairs or
walkers. It's a really exceptional accommodation that I was very impressed
by.
And there is my faithful little Red Nissan Versa with the Alabama liscense plate! What a great rental. I first rented one when in Seattle in March of 2016, and I'm so enamored with it, I'm seriously thinking about buying one as a second car to commute in once my truck is paid off. End of Nissan commercial!

There she is!
Surveying her domain.
End of photo op.....
Here on the western end of the northern area of the park,
add ochre to your color palate!
