Visiting the Remote Badlands South Unit

BadlandsImage by merriehaskell via FlickrBadlands National Park, under control of the National Park Service is the part of the Badlands that most tourists see.

Half of the Badlands is under the control of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. This is the undeveloped area of the Badlands referred to as the South Unit.

The South Unit is beautiful, and treacherous. With the exception of a dirt (sometimes mud) road near Sheep Mountain, there are no developed areas or easily spotted trails.

The drive over Sheep Mountain is beautiful, but if you're planning on hiking here, make sure you are very experienced and well prepared.
