Park has us singing a happier tune
Each layer in the soil and rock was formed during a different geological period.

It was impossible for me to say the word “badlands,” much less visit Badlands National Park, without getting the Bruce Springsteen song of the same name stuck in my head.
Not that I’m grousing. After all, we could have been visiting Hokey Pokey National Park or One Tin Soldier National Monument or something.

Badlands (”whoah woah woah woah,” sorry, can’t help it) is a beautiful park that reminded me of a scale model of the Cumberland Plateau. There are large relatively flat areas punctuated with ravines and craggy hills created by erosion. Layers of soil and rock are on prominent display, creating the bands you see in any photo of the Badlands (”Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,” darn can’t get it out of my head …).
