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.

Awesome, knowledgable, and engaging.
Daniel is a knowledgeable guide, entertaining and informative about the Badlands and the Black Hills region. We also enjoyed hiking and visiting the Badlands and enjoyed learning more about the Delta 9 museum and video. The picnic presentation was really well done using a nice western table covering with real utensils, real food, and real fruit. It was really well done. Thanks again. You were awesome. I highly recommend the tour.

Q:How many days do you need at Badlands National Park?
A:A weekend is enough for a leisurely drive through Badland National, but those hoping to tack on some outdoor adventures should plan for three days or more. This allows time to soak up the beauty of the Badlands at sunset, camp under the stars, and embark on a short backpacking trip.
Q:What is the best month to visit Badlands National Park?
A:September or October are the best months to experience ideal weather at Badlands National Park. In fall, temperatures are cooler and the crowds are thinner than in summer, allowing you to get unobstructed views of this picturesque location.
Q:How long does it take to drive around Badlands National Park?
A:You can drive the 39-mile (63-kilometer) Scenic Byway in Badlands National Park—including photo stops—in a couple of hours. However, if you're interested in hiking the trails further into the terrain, you may need to add a day or two to fully experience the area and its beauty.
