The South Dakota Badlands Loop is an amazing ride that traverses some of the most unique landscapes in the entire United States.  This route starts in Wall, South Dakota and heads South and East through Badlands National Park.  There are many places to pull off and view the scenery or hike on this part of the ride.

 

The next leg of this ride heads back East across the prairies to the town of Scenic.  From there you will turn South for a stop at the Wounded Knee Cemetery and Massacre Monument.

 

More riding across the prairie brings you back to the Ben Reifel Visitor Center and the park exit.  After exiting Badlands National Park, this route takes you to the Minuteman Missile Visitors Center before returning to Wall.
