On a recent trip way out West, I was surprised to learn that Badlands National Park was very much just rocks. Lots, and Lots (and Lots…) of rocks. Don’t get me wrong. It's not that I didn’t enjoy it; I’m only saying I was expecting something slightly less dusty and, well, rocky. I like a good rock as much as the next girl, but I love the bright red rocks of the desert, not so much the sandy tan stones of the Midwest. Badlands National Park is located in Interior South Dakota,
