After visiting the pine tree covered Black Hills in western South Dakota, we headed east through the grass covered prairies to the Badlands.

It was a 5 hour drive from Colorado to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We went through the rolling verdant grass covered hills of Colorado and Wyoming entertained by Jake looking for antelope, prairie dogs and cattle. The hills of South Dakota were covered with pine trees and the roads were curvy prompting Sandy alerts to slow down.
