Badlands & Custer SP. Difference in June vs August?
Our two options to visit Custer SP and the Badlands next year are the third week of June or the end of August. Is there any difference or advantage or disadvantage with either time frame? Thanks

"If it were me I wouldn't hesitate to go in June rather than August. August is usually very hot while June is very pleasant. No comparison. Late August will be a bit cooler but still can be very hot and humid. Late June can be getting pretty warm but is almost sure to be much nicer than late August. "
I agree. With the prairies greening up the temps still relatively cool your stay will be much more comfortable in June. August is hot, even in the Hills, but especially in the Bad Lands.
FWIW - We really don't have a lot good to say about the Bad Lands. Do the loop and take pictures because there are some interesting formations, but we had people come into CSP when we were there talking about spending a week there. A couple or three hour drive through is all I can see it taking.
