Here is the afore promised photos of Badlands National Park, a truly magical place. This is only a few of the pictures, I am sure Nick will update with his favorites at some point when we have reliable WIFI!

| On our first day here, we were able to get in a few great hikes and views before the sun went down and the temp dropped. We were mostly stunned with the scenery, tired from the drive, but so invigorated by history and possibility of the place. |
 |
| Getting familiar with the panoramic setting of our camera, our picturesque campsite is decked out with a fancy sun/wind shade over the picnic table. Most camps in these parts come with this accoutrement, which was really great in the heat of the day. |
 |
| While we cooked dinner, we got to take in one of several gorgeous sunsets across the rock peaks. |
 |
| On our second day we did a 5 mile hike that shows the diversity of the place, we went from moon rock spires to the great plains. |
 |
| Taking a break and feeling the sun on my back, it's hard not to be seduced into meditating. Which, is easy in places of such beauty! |
 |
| On the second night, we drove up to an overlook to see the sunset, which we almost missed because it was so quick. The colors of the rocks change so much with the changing sky. |
 |
| Silhouettes on the horizon. |
 |
| This is Nick's relaxed face.... |
 |
| ... and mine. |

Packed early morning breakfast of quinoa, oatmeal, sliced apples, and brown sugar, I call it the breakfast sundae.
