Touring InformationThe Badlands National Park never closes. There is a fee charge for each carload.

The park is located 70 miles east of Rapid City South Dakota.

The 30 miles Badlands loop road is well paved. However many other roads are unpaved and impassable when wet. Food is available at Cedar Pass Lodge near the visitor center.

The west Pinnacles Entrance is close to the small city named Wall.There you can find the famous Wall Drug Store, a huge tourist mall that occupies most of downtown and employs nearly a third of its population. Over a million people stop at Wall Drug every year -- 20,000 on a good summer day. It has a large variety of gift shops and restaurants and is worth stopping by on the way to Badland.
