I thank God for you because the world needs more people like you right now. I love how authentic you are as a person and your amazing RUclips channel.
Really blessed by your kind and genuine words! ...and thanks for my first donation! :)
Looks like a great place to enjoy the quiet beauty of Gods creation. I love to see you relaxing and exploring!
Thanks for your blessings on these trips! :)
Thank you sir. I'm doing this trail for the first time In August 2024 I'm sure it's still hot in day time.
Thank you Randy for an interesting and quite unique video. I'm glad you reminded people about carrying lots of water and other safety/sun precautions... Many Blessings, Robin :-)
Thanks, Robin! Badlands is really a special place!
Hey Leslie
Thanks, Randy for this beautiful, information filled video from a unique (and often forgotten) park. One other important tip is to know your limits. Don’t be afraid to stretch yourself, but just the same, know when to call it to ensure safety and enjoyment for yourself and for those that love you.
Excellent advice, James! Hope others see and heed your comment!
I love this trail…hiked it many times and I find I enjoy these places so much more in my adult years…I spend a week out there every year for my birthday it’s one of my favorite places❤️
You have good taste, Kristal! Badlands is special for me too... it was my first NP back in 1995.
@@AmericasParks Haha…Awesome!!
I'm watching your video from Japan. I felt like traveling there. It's a wonderful view! Thank you so much!
Happy to hear that and the warmest greetings from the US!
@@AmericasParks
I subscribed to your channel. I will watch it again.
Badlands is a unique park. No other park in the nation has scenery quite like it in my experience.
So true, Eric. It was my first NP back in 1995.
@@AmericasParks where is it?

I made a trip to Badlands in 2021 and loved it. I hiked the Medicine Loop as well. As an aside, I drove up from Denver after flying in and ended up driving through the Pine Ridge Reservation south of Badlands. It's actually one of the saddest places I ever travelled through in my life. Abject poverty and the site of the Wounded Knee Massacre. Definitely a place I will never forget. It's amazing how some of the most beautiful places can also hold such sadness and ugliness.
Glad to hear you are getting out and experiencing both the good and bad in our great country. So much to learn! All the best in 2023!
Randy, Excellent safety tips, so many people are not prepared for hot and dry trail in full sun. You always make the Badlands looks so good and remind us why this is a National Park. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US WITH YOU ON THE TRAIL, . . . Mike
Thanks Mike. It was my first National Park back in 1995.
Awesome hike through the badlands!
Love this place! You made an appearance in this video. Great time there with you 5 years ago!
I'm going out there to work in a couple weeks. Thanks for the video and tips. Great info, new subscription
Appreciate the kind words and have a great summer at the Badlands! Awesome NP... and the first one I visited back in 1995.
Another great video! Your videos never disappoint and your positive attitude really shines through. Appreciate all your hard work and dedication towards these adventures and videos. Happy Trails!
Really nice to read your kind and encouraging words, Nat! Enjoy your week!
Hey nat
😊 Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
The badlands are indeed very interesting! Yeah, there really is no sun cover at all along any of these trails. Nice that you were able to complete it all!
Thanks Josh! Enjoy your weekend!
It's South Dakota, so it's always going to be windy. The last time I was there we watched some students from (I think) South Dakota School of Mines doing excavation of some fossilized pig ancestors. Pretty neat place and often overlooked by those rushing westward to see the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore.
What a nice experience! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Hello America's Park's😊😊, we hit up a bunch of National Parks on our return trip home to RI, and we visited Badlands National Park but we stayed on the road...to hot😄😄, but ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! Randy, my friend was OUTSTANDING video. Now it's time to plan a trip to....Rainbow Bridge, National Monument😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Much appreciated, Al! Always enjoy hearing about your great trips as well!
Going to the badlands for the first time tomorrow. Deff doing this hike
Hope the hike went well for you! Classic Badlands hike!
How often do people tell you that you sound like Norm MacDonald? Love this video. I'm heading to Castle Trail in two days from Ohio. Thanks for preparing me for the hike!
Love the black socks!
Thanks! Knew that was the look, like it, but hope it's still fashionable! lol! Enjoy your week!
I love Enduro Automatic 😍
Thanks for watching.
Ha! We were there about 3 weeks before you, it’s like deja vu! We did this one and there are some short ones like the Widow Trail where we saw some big horn sheep. South Dakota has a feeling of midwestern purity and cleanliness, even in the “Badlands”.
Great choice of words, Aamon! Sorry I missed you! Hope to get those other trails up in the next video.
great hike!! it's good to take way longer than they recommend, that means you got to see more of it for longer ... love badlands type scenery, thanks for taking us with you
Thanks... special place as it was my first NP back in 1995. Enjoy your week!
I've said it many times but I will say it again, I love the music you select for your videos
Thanks, my friend! All the best to your dear family on this special day!
As far as I am concerned the Badlands were misnamed. Although I understand why, to me they are good, good lands. I love hiking in them, driving the loop road, staying at the Cedar Pass cabins, viewing wildlife...yes goodlands indeed.
Agree... good taste Jonathan. This was my first NP back in 1995.
Did the medicine trail a few years back, you are spot on about the water and sun. Thanks for the video Randy.
Appreciate that, George!
So open out there definitely not used to that being in the southeast. Gorgeous though! Love the landscape. Thanks for sharing!
Appreciated that, Nick! Hope you guys have a great weekend!
Gr8 stuff MrRandy👌🏽👌🏽
Much appreciated, Mark!
Amazing video!Great camera work as well,especially considering your a one man crew.Badlands is one of the most unique parks in the system and I hope to make it one day.
I hope you can get out there as well! It was my first NP back in 95.
Very beautiful park
I believe next week's video will highlight even more of the beauty. Thanks for watching!
U da Best
Thanks for the kind words!
This was helpful for preparing for our trip there this May. I think with our time constraints and skill level, I'll start at the east end, do the saddle spur, then come back via medicine root.
Happy to hear that! Thanks for the donation and enjoy your time in the Badlands!
Yeah that is a really cool landscape! The only other place I know of that looks somewhat similar that is Golden Canyon in Death Valley National Park. You did a long hike but it did seem pretty flat at least so it wasn't a super tiring one. Very cool Randy and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Eric! Yes, almost totally level. That sure makes a big difference.
Awesome production as usual. I just activated notifications, if you happen to have any footage of the eastern end last tenth of a mile you considered most beautiful I would appreciate to see it.
Really appreciate the kind words! All the footage I shot was used in making the video. In the video it would be roughly 00:57-02:00.
Made the water problem myself in Canyonlands, before I became a Ranger in THRO. While not quite as intense, the sun can burn through anything on the Plains. Always back an extra gallon of water per 3 people, and always an extra quart per person. The Badlands, North or South Dakota, give only reprieve during night or thunderstorm, and TRUST ME, you don't want to see God's wrath on the Great Plains.
Great words, Brian! Thanks for the wise input!
Awesome videos as always. I was wondering if you have any tips for someone new starting to make outdoor content?
In a nutshell... Be yourself, get good cameras, use as much variety as possible, edit to just the best material. All the best!
Just got back a few days ago and it was awesome! Sadly didn't see any rattlesnakes :(
Such a rush to see those snakes in the wild. Glad you had a great trip!
The 6.5 mile hike sounds just fine - ha ha! I’m struggling finding good shoes…. This looked like an amazing hike, but maybe I would just do the highlights on the ends 🤣 (a lot of the times we are tag-teaming with doggo).
Yeah, the two ends were definitely the best. As for shoes... after a lot of investigation, absolutely love my Brooks trail runners. Enjoy your week!
@@AmericasParks I’ll look into those!
HAPPY SABBATH!
Thanks you
Can you r recommend a good trail app? Also does gps work ok there? Going on this trail in May. Thank you!
Hello! A lot use "All Trails." I like the "Hiking Project." Can't recall the cell service, check with the park headquarters. If you do the trails in this video, a simple park map, found in the brochure, should be sufficient.
Do you have your tshirts still?
Yes... Click any video and look at the merch "shelf" displayed below the video. Thanks for asking!
Oh no, just looked and it seems my merch shelf disappeared. Will look into it.
@@AmericasParks Thank you!
I RECENTLY SAW AN OLDER WEALTHY MAN ADDRESSING AN ISSUE OVER DINNIER. HE SAID, TONIGHT, WE ATR GOING TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN ON THE MINDS OF ALL MEN EVERYWHERE SINCE HE TOOK HIS FIRST STEPS UNDER THE SUN. THE MOST WANDERED ABOUT EVER. IS MAN TRULY A WALRUS AT HEART?
Thanks for joining us on this one, Jess!
2:04-2:22 There’s nothing God creates that isn’t perfect according to this plan!!
Amen, brother! Blessed you have "eyes to see!"
PLEASE PRAY FOR MY WIFE, WENDY. SHE IS SO DEEPLY HURT BECAUSE APART FROM A MIRACLE, WHICH CAN HAPPEN, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A BABY OF OUR OWN. SHE NEEDS MUCH PRAYER. ALSO THAT SHE STOPS BLAMING ME FOR IT AND DISTANCING HERSELF FROM ME. ALSO FOR MY WISDOM TO HANDLE THIS AND PATIENCE. TROUBLES ASSERT PATIENCE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? EVEN HERE I PRAISE YAH, 1 Thessalonians 5:18 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. THANX MUCH.
Very sorry to hear that. May the Lord be with you both.
