Offered in: English

Your experience begins about an hour before sunset, the perfect time to witness the park’s wildlife at its most active. Watch as bison graze across the golden plains, bighorn sheep navigate the rugged cliffs, and prairie dogs dart among the buttes — all illuminated by the warm glow of twilight.

As the sun dips below the horizon, the Badlands transform into a mystical wonderland of color and shadow. Your guide leads you through scenic overlooks and photo-perfect vistas, where the last light of day gives way to the deep blues of night.

When darkness settles, prepare for a stargazing experience like no other. Far from city lights, the Badlands reveal a dazzling canopy of stars. Under some of the clearest skies in America, you’ll marvel at the Milky Way, trace constellations, and take in the quiet majesty of the night.

With expert guides, premium binoculars, and comfortable zero-gravity chairs, this tour offers a seamless blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural wonder.
