Badlands Ranch Store is a must stop when headed to Badlands National Park. For just $1 a bag for peanuts, you can get up close to feed a friendly colony of chubby prairie dogs. Wild prairie dogs are much slimmer and fast moving. At the store site, you’re able to walk around freely and see the prairie dog sites, one open and one fenced.

Badlands National Park
Badlands National Park is located in South Dakota and is notable for its sediment rock layers eroded by wind and water. I started the Badlands Loop Road drive from Interior, SD since it was closer to the visitor center and hiking trails.
