On the third day of our trip, we had planned to go to Mt. Rushmore. However, we woke up to about 6" of snow! We decided to go to the Badlands instead. Although there was no snow, it was cold and rainy which meant that we did not do any hiking in the Badlands. We will have to take a trip back sometime so we can do some more exploring! The Badlands is known for being rich in fossils. It was formed by the layering of different sediments. The different layers of sediments are very evident, as they are different colors. Red, tan, white, and yellow layers were very distictive, and each layer could be easily seen throughout the formation.
