Badlands Overlooks Along Hwy 240
There are many overlooks in the Badlands National Park. I logged the overlooks heading south along Highway 240 from Mile marker 131 Interstate 90 coming in from the Northeast Entrance Station. If coming in from Mile marker 110 instead- everything will just be backwards. Stopping at all the overlooks can be a little much especially on a hot day, and in reality a lot of them look the same after a while. I marked my favorites.
Keep in mind - these are just the overlooks. This does not include all the different hikes you can stop at and do along the way.
