Badlands National Park, South Dakota
After visiting the pine tree covered Black Hills in western South Dakota, we headed east through the grass covered prairies to the Badlands. French fur purveyors called the Badlands “les mauvaises terror a traverser”, meaning “bad land to traverse”. The Lakota referred to the area as “Mako Sica”, also meaning land bad.
