Oh, the Badlands. It was only about 10 minutes from Wall Drug. It is National Park, so we got a map of the park and a hiking trail map. We had about an hour before their visitor's center closed, so we hoped to check it out before it closed. We stopped at a couple different look out spots and a hiking spot before we hit the visitor's center. We had 10 minutes to check out the visitors center and learn all we could. We were able to get the booklets and badges for the girls to be Jr. Rangers from the Badlands too. Allie wasn't super into it. She thought it was too much work at Mt. Rushmore. Luckily for her we didn't have enough time to actually learn stuff. But we got some coins from the shop and then continued on to more hikes. The kids really liked the hikes and exploring when we were allowed to go off trail.
We then drove out of the park and headed back towards our hotel. We stopped and had dinner in Rapid City at a yummy local restaurant. After eating we then drove back to see Mt. Rushmore in the dark before going back to the hotel and we all went swimming. The kids love pools. We then all showered and went to bed for the night. Such a good day!
