While I was doing a land cover survey for NLCD working for the USFWS, I went through the Badlands National Park a couple times in South Dakota. It had just rained and the soil was still just damp enough for the colors to really pop out.

It’s a really beautiful area. I can’t wait to get back there.

This image is probably shot a thousand times a day. The shot is taken right off of a lookout point. It’s such an amazing display of the canyon. Almost like a mini Grand Canyon. There are lots of trails around canyonlands for off road vehicle travel. Someday I hope to get back there with a capable vehicle and get some really good pictures.
