Badlands National Park Secrets Unveiled

Overview

My XO Adventures believes The Badlands can be a wonderful experience for your senses, and there are a lot of stories to be told about the park. It's also abundant with wildlife, but you've got to know where to go.

We have walked, crawled, climbed, and taken the back roads through the park to find places we know you'll love. This is not a strenuous journey and is suited for all ages. We encourage you to check out our Google Reviews for My XO Adventures online to see what kind of experience you'll enjoy by coming along with us.

We take care of the details and may even have some surprises for you along the way. Every day is different, and we love what we do. We explore the Badlands, not just tour them. Learn about the history, wildlife, fossils, geological shapes, and sacred places. Commonly missed and extraordinary places are where we go.

What To Expect

Wall Drug

One of the greatest success stories you'll ever hear. Wall Drug is known around the world for its free water and unmistakable billboards. This roadside curiosity has been around for almost 100 years, and its still going strong. Let's enjoy lunch and peruse what started as a modest drug store in a dirt poor town into a mammoth operation today.

Badlands National Park

Sit back and enjoy an educational experience while you're taken through one of the most unique National Parks in the US! A massive area of constant change, they named it the Badlands for a good reason. Not to worry, as our ride takes us safely through this otherworldy land, stopping along the way to see beautiful formations, wildlife, mineral deposits, and open sky. You'll love your time, and learn what most miss on this magical tour.

Ben Reifel Visitor Center

A stop at the Visitors Center gives you time to take a break, ask questions from the park staff and pick up a souvenir.

Scenic

A stop at the old Ghost Town of Scenic before visiting Sheep Mountain Table. Spend some time in the old jail or peek in the windows of yesterday.

Caputa Alpacas & Guest Ranch

A stop out to the Stronghold Unit of the Badlands takes us right past the Alpaca Farm. You can't pass up these cute little faces, so let's stop to feed them a snack.

I had the good fortune to be on a group trip that Daniel Milk led in Utah's Zion National Park. Daniel is one of those rare people that intuitively knows what everyone needs throughout the experience. Although everything that Daniel provided during our trip was outstanding, including the experiences he led and those led by his collaborative outdoor experiential partners, it was the respectful way in which Daniel led the tours that impressed me most. Daniel was intentional in recognizing the importance of land acknowledgement and sharing the history of First Nations Peoples both at Zion and at our stop in Nevada's Valley of Fire. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a fulfilling and enriching experience...plus...you just may gain a new friend. Live 4 Love Shawn

Thanks Daniel, I really enjoyed meeting new friends and spending quality time outside, kayaking, and seeing all the manatees. I'm enjoying my move to Florida. Look forward to more trips this year with group. Happy Yaking!! Jackie

So fun, exceptional tour guide, saw loads of manatee and birds. A great 2-3 hour easy kayak trip in smooth river water. Easy for beginners. Highly recommend this to anyone including families.
