Badlands of South Dakota |
The bad weather from the Black Hills reached us sometime
during the night. High winds, some rain and a drop in temperature. With
threatening rains this morning we thought we would drive into town, Wall, and
hope the weather would clear up in the afternoon. By the time we returned from town the weather had change and
was pretty nice. Lunch and an afternoon hike became the order of the day.
We chose the Medicine Root Loop trail. The trail is a
moderate trail which generally consists of flat grass prairie hiking with views
of the Badlands in the distance. We did encounter a rattle snake that seemed
very annoyed that we were invading his territory. After a few minutes of no one
making a move we figured out what we had to do to vacate the area without any
unfortunate incidents. It was a couple of tense minutes however.
The day ended with a beautiful sunset.
