It is smaller than a lot of national parks but don't let that fool you. Still a lot to do. Recommend visiting the north visitors center first.

Couldn't recommend enough. Great overlooks. Lots of wildlife . The castle trail is a nice 5 hour hike . Free out and back backpacking. We will definitely be back to do some backpacking.

Be on the lookout for fossils — the park has one of the most complete fossil accumulations in North America. The park also provides amazing stargazing & hosts an astronomy festival in early August! Read more

What an incredible spot. Go, take tons of pics, learn about the amazing history, feel small and insignificant in this giant world.

The scenery here is amazing. I love the variety of hiking trails available. Also seeing the big horn sheep being so close to the road was pretty neat.

Fantastic park . Don't miss the scenic drives in the western part of the park for fantastic wildlife viewing . Notch trail is my favorite day trail .

Visit in the off season if you can. Practically have the park to yourself and have some room to breath!

Head to White River Visitor Center (only open during summer) to get the second cancellation stamp for your passbook. On the way, get some lumpia from the food truck (outside gas station ) in Scenic .

Do not miss this park ! It is incredibly unique with great views everywhere.

One of the only National Parks where you can climb and touch everything! Enjoy this park while it lasts, just stay hydrated and be careful.

Don't pass up this park ! Unique scenery and a national treasure!

So incredibly beautiful! Dress for the weather and bring water!

Spanning 80 million years of geologic history, the biggest area of badlands in the nation is an outstanding example of erosion and weathering. Read more

Stunning views as soon as you enter the park . A must visit. Drive through and hike around.

The first viewpoints as you drive in are crowded compared to the others.

Amazing and breath taking! Definitely stop by the visitor center and let your kids take part of the Jr Ranger program.

The views are unique and simply breathtaking. Take your time and soak it in!
