The photos and videos we've seen look amazing. I really want to spend more time in AZ too. I only made one brief stop to see a portion of the Grand Canyon. We drove past Sturgis when we were in the area, but didn't stop. And, if we ever make it back to the Badlands, we decided we would spend the night in Wall! We stopped briefly at Wall Drug and saw there were several nice hotels we could stay at. I'll excited to check out your photos of the Badlands this weekend!Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-43679538459393554062018-11-02T08:45:33.915-05:002018-11-02T08:45:33.915-05:00Thanks Mica!

I spent a lot of time in AZ and loved the red rocks. When new hubby and I ended up doing Sturgis for almost 3 weeks a few years back, we decided to stay in Wall SD (in our RV) and visit the Badlands. I figured I'd seen it all before. NOT!!! I was so amazed at the diversity there...I now recommend it to everyone!!!
