Yes, that's right, I'm recommending visiting the Dakotas!
Yes, that's right, I'm recommending visiting the Dakotas! Making your way back east I’d recommend two under-visited states where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains, in the area called the Badlands. North and South Dakota are home to three US National Parks, the Badlands, Wind Cave, and Theodore Roosevelt. Of course, the most famous attraction in this area is Mount Rushmore National Monument. On my trip to North Dakota, I saw bison, prairie dogs, feral horses, and pronghorn in Theodore Roosevelt National park--more wildlife than I saw in Yellowstone! ‍
