Nice I wish I got to badlands earlier and did some of the longer trails there I would say I definitely liked badlands more but make sure you give yourself enough time to drive out to the campsite if you are staying at sage creek it takes a lot longer to get there than it appears about 30+ min...

What area are you going to black hills or badlands both. We talked to a couple on the sylvan lake trail and They said trails we’re mostly clear in Custer state park. I will say one think I did enjoy about black hills is that we had the trails to ourselves we only saw 3 other people in the 3 days...

Day 1 We arrived in the badlands around 4pm local time we had enough time to make it to the visitors center and stock up on some water before our hike and camp that night. We started off with the notch trail it’s described as a strenuous hike but it is fairly easy with some minor scrambling...

Looking for ideas for 3-4 day backpacking trip in Arkansas or neighboring states late April early may time frame. Was looking at the Athens to big fork and the eagle rock loop but open to suggestions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll have to take a look on my map at that route and get back. Most of what I was reading on bear population in the black hills makes it sound like sporadic sightings. Like In the article but from others that I read they make it sound like the ecosystem can’t sustain a bear population. Now I...

Yea that’s understandable. I think we’re thinking of going north from Harney and maybe doing flume Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great thanks for the advice I’ll look into that Facebook page was there any other trails that you did or could recommend? Yea I have heard the lions are pretty active in the area and I also heard that there are occasional bear sightings but they are rare but i haven’t found much else on that...

Taking a 4-5 day trip end of April beginning of may. I’m coming out from the Midwest so doing 1 day in badlands then driving out to black hills for 3 day backpacking trip looking for advice on route selection from people who are familiar with the area The original plan was to start on grizzly...

I am about 8-9 hrs from the smokys but we have gone there frequently over the last few years nothing wrong with it one on my favorites but want to try something different. Pictured rocks looks nice how are the trails? It’s only about 6.5 hours from me Ouachita trail is nice I’ve been to the...

Looking to take a trip late may or June and looking for some ideas on where to go. I’m in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and looking to drive about 7-8 hours max in any direction for this trip since it is a shorter one. I initially was thinking drive the 5 hours and spend the trip in...

Yea that’s a good point I know glaciers tourist season starts in July and have read they open mountain roads in late June that’s why I was thinking maybe last week of June for then. But I wouldn’t mind doing arches anyone been out there in late may? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
