This is an absolutely amazing viewpoint that is well worth the drive to get there. Red Shirt Table is one of the most impressive and beautiful places in Badlands National Park that sits right next to a major road about halfway between Rapid City and Pine Ridge.

I would highly recommend exploring the Red Shirt Table and Sheep Table Mountain areas of the park. The South Unit also offers an opportunity for people to learn more about Lakota culture and history, since much of the national park in the south borders the Pine Ridge...

Nothing broke but had some clean up to do. Still worth the stop maybe as much for the beautiful young couple...

The Badlands' website does an excellent job of capturing the essence of this remarkable place. The informative content and stunning visuals provide a valuable resource for anyone planning a visit. I highly recommend checking it out 5...
