I love the badlands 🥲 I visit every time I drive through SD on my way to Wyoming from upper Michigan. It feels like a different planet

If you’re into that other worldly feel, definitely go check out Craters of the Moon in Idaho. It’s a couple hours drive from the Tetons, and it’s awesome and underrated. Lots of cool geology, trails and you can go inside the underground lava tubes too.

We stopped there on a family road trip 20 years ago and it still gets talked about. Very cool place

Another vote for Craters of the Moon. So underrated, but also part of what made it great was how it wasn't too busy when I visited.

Upper Indiana native. Thanks for the convenience of weed, sorry for polluting your streets with traffic though. Love the Amish. ❤️

How often do you drive from the UP to Wyoming? That’s quite a hike!

About once a year! It’s a solid 19 hours- it’s not terrible but I’m never in a big rush to do it again 😂 I have a sibling that lives out there

That’s so awesome! I’m in Chicago and wanna road trip out there one of these days but it’s so far. From WI originally, love the UP! I was just up in iron River.

We road tripped from Chicago area to badlands/black hills. It wasn’t bad. Made some strategic spread out stops (field of dreams, Souix city-stopped at stone state park which was nice, Souix falls, Wall, Rapid City). Farthest we went was Devils Tower in WY. Good week long road trip. It’s not bad broken up in ~4 hour chunks of driving.
