Since the first time I visited in 2017, I wanted to do one of their guided hikes. To go where hiker has gone before… jk…. well almost.
The tour I chose to do is the Great Badlands Hike. With all tours your day will start outside of the Visitor Centre, which is where you will meet your guide.
The interpretive guides are actually University students. I don’t know if they strictly hire students in the archaeology field, but our guide was studying to be a paleontologist, and really knew what she was talking about.
It starts off with a bus ride, onto the road that us travelers cannot go on our own. From there it was maybe a 10-20 minute journey to the beginning of the hike.
**Disclaimer** The park gives a lot of leeway to their guides as to where your hike will take place. Every guide develops their own unique trail that they can take you on, so every hike is potentially a little bit different.
