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.

And by exceptional, I mean that I rarely join tour groups because they tend to be too "vanilla" for my taste. But, because I had heard so many positive comments about Daniel, the organizer for this event, I chose to make an exception and give it a try, and I am very glad that I did. It was a remarkable day, in every sense of the word. In the days leading up to the event, the participants were kept informed on a regular basis, as to developments and while each aspect of the event was executed flawlessly, it never felt regimented. Our group was transported in a very nicely appointed, 12 passenger white van (named Vanna White 😉). The tour guide that Daniel arranged for us in Crystal River was among the best that I have encountered. After kayaking for several delight-filled hours, we proceeded to lunch at the crab plant where we enjoyed some of the best seafood that this former resident of the Florida Keys has ever been served. The "cherry on top", both literally and figuratively was a quick stop at Twistee Treat for a bit of dessert. Suffice it to say that this was one of the best day trips that I have experienced in recent memory, and that sentiment was shared by all who attended. I am keeping a close eye on future offerings, and fully intend to participate frequently. Thank you, Daniel, for a truly remarkable day!
