Badlands NP is amazing. I ditched the main camp during an evening and took a little hike out. and up a gully. a bull saw me and chased me into a thicket of bushes. it trotted at me from a far distance away but didn't stop coming, so I had to get out of the way!
I eventually got back to the camp area. I woke up earlier than most others the next day and a bull and a heifer walked right through camp. literally right next to nylon tents. everything was peaceful that morning but some humans got spooked
really great experience. I loved seeing wild bison
That’s a wild story! Badlands is one of my favorites. Been there a quite a few times now and have not been disappointed once.
