    Colder weather is expected this week through most of SD. Time to start dressing like it is indeed winter. Would much rather have shorts and flip flops.

    The Lakota people have deep spiritual ties to the Badlands and surrounding area. Half of the park (Stronghold and Palmer Creek units) are located on the Pine Ridge Reservation and cooperatively managed with the tribe.
