Badlands Loop Scenic Byway

This approximately 30-mile drive on SD 240 cuts through the middle of breathtaking formations of Badlands National Park.

As the byway follows the natural contours of the Badlands escarpment, it also weaves in and out of the native grasslands full of hundreds of species of plants and animals. Scenic overlooks, with names like Seabed Jungle, Pinnacles and Prairie Wind, offer outstanding photo opportunities.
