For Truck Campers Traveling Through South Dakota
The Badlands
Truck campers will agree that the Badlands of South Dakota are a place of extremes. Plan a visit during the summer and curse the heat and the violent lightning storms, Yet you are excited by the wildlife and wildflowers. Visit the winter and be chilled by the cold and winds while marveling at the snow-dusted buttes.
The prairie contains 60 species of grass that once covered one-third of North America. Today, patchwork remnants of native grass represent adaptations to millions of years of changing conditions and sustain a diverse citizenry. Grassland occurs because the land is too dry to support trees while being too wet to be considered a desert.
Abundant Wildlife
Once a thriving forest of grass and hundreds of species of wildflowers that support black-tail prairie dogs, mule deer, pronghorn, bison, coyotes, and bighorn sheep.
