Badlands National Park in South Dakota consists of more than 242,000 acres of land. Dramatic landscapes including rock formations, steep canyons, towering spires and prairie grass are home to Bison, bighorn sheep and prairie dogs. Erosion has revealed sedimentary layers of purple and yellow (shale), tan and gray (sand and gravel), red and orange (iron oxides) and white (volcanic ash). It was designated a National Monument in 1939 and re-designated a National Park in 1978.

Badlands are a particular type of rock formation found in arid regions around the world. These formations require poorly consolidated rock and infrequent but torrential rain. The soft rock allows large quantities of water to channel down gullies, carrying away sediment. Bentonite clay within these formations can swell up with moisture. As the clay dries it shrinks and cracks, creating a surface resembling the skin of an elephant. Beneath the surface, an intricate maze of natural pipes and spaces form within the badlands. This hidden plumbing appears on the face of the badlands as dimples, sinks, slumps and seeps. As erosion continues, new features including caves and natural bridges can form. Badlands often take on varied colors giving the formations a banded appearance. These colorful badland formations were at Blue Mesa in Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook, Arizona, USA.
