Badlands

Today we started out by braving the Badlands again. We learned that, millions of years ago, there was an ocean covering South D. Over time, the Black Hills and Rocky Mountains kept rising, and the ocean was shoved out of the way.


In the more prairie-esque portions of the Badlands, we found some more prairie dogs. Other wildlife we spotted on our way through the badlands were birds, a rabbit, and some bison (they seem to be all over this part of the country). Check out the collage below to see the cool bird we saw, to see the baby bunny, the prairie dogs, and the bison that roam Badlands National Park.



Once we'd finished with the Badlands, we headed to Wind Cave, another national park in SD. e entered through the tiny hole you can see in the cave pictures. ent possibilty). While in the cave, we saw what was called popcorn on the walls and ceilings, as well as box work.
