Badlands National Park is a highly underrated park in the United States. The colorful buttes, spires, and pinnacles create one of the most photogenic landscapes in the country. Bison and bighorn sheep roam the largest mixed-grass prairie in the United States. The sunrises and sunsets are magical, the hiking trails are short and sweet, and for those looking for more solitude, you can take your pick from a handful of backcountry experiences. New on our website is a post with the best things to do in Badlands National Park. Click the link in our bio to learn more.

Black Elk Peak is the highest summit in the United States east of the Rockies. Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this is a great day hike from Custer State Park.
.
.
Until recently, this peak went by the name “Harney Peak,” but there is a lot of important history behind this name. This mountain peak is sacred to the Lakota Sioux. They called the peak Hinhan Kaga, or “owl maker” and Hehaka Sapa, or “elk black.” In 1855, the name was changed to Harney Peak, in honor of US General William S. Harney, who led a military expedition that massacred Lakota Sioux warriors, women, and children in the Battle of Blue Water Creek in Nebraska. For decades, the Sioux tried to get the name changed, since Harney massacred their people. In 2016, the name was changed to “Black Elk Peak” in honor of Black Elk, a noted medicine man.
