Covering 987 square kilometres in (southwestern) South Dakota, it\u2019s full of colourful spired rocks, buttes, pinnacles and deep gorges. Plus the largest mixed grass prairie of any registered National Park. Amazingly, water and wind erosion have caused colourful sedimentary layers to form here \u2013 meaning streaks of purple, yellow, orange, red and white run over rugged rocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any visitor will wonder if they are really still on earth here. Especially if they encounter the fossilised skeletons of camels, horses, rhinos, three-toed horses and saber-toothed cats the park is renowned for in the science world. Hiking, star and sunrise gazing, camping and wildlife watching are regulars here: keep an eye out for butterflies, turtles, snakes, bluebirds, vultures, eagles and hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-national-parks-in-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The best National Parks in the USA<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Rosebud Indian Reservation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/08\/Badlands-GIRL-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Rosebud Indian Reservation\" class=\"wp-image-870404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Badlands-GIRL-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Badlands-GIRL-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Badlands-GIRL.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretching 5,103km in South Dakota, the Rosebud Indian Reservation is a crucial indigenous hub \u2013 home to 21,000 people from the Sicangu Lakota and Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Each member is itching to tell you pulsating stories of past leaders and battles on your arrival. As well as offer you traditional energy-boosting foods like wojapi berry soup. While you\u2019re here, pop into the Buechel Museum to admire over 2,000 artefacts and photographs that give fascinating insights into Sioux culture.

He was worshipped by tribal nations for his resistance against the US government\u2019s attempt to own Native American tribal lands. (And this is a struggle that continues today).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, Sitting Bull was killed by Indian police at the Standing Rock reservation \u2013 but his efforts to preserve the strength and identity of the Sioux people has become an example to others even since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Earth Lodge Village<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CHrAyQkgE0b\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on Lake Sakakawea\u2019s stunning shores, the Earth Lodge Village (in North Dakota) is home to a large chunk of the 5,600 Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara tribes-people who live in the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
