Badlands, and wind cave S. Dakota that bad?
yahoo travel did a recent article on the 5 worst National Parks. Badlands, and Wind Cave were both on the list. As we are planning a trip to S. Dakota in June/July, I was wondering if any of you agree...

You can't compare the Badlands to Yellowstone any more than you can make fish taste like hamburger. I enjoyed the Badlands. It isn't much of a detour. 20 miles if you skip it and 40 miles if you drive the loop. As I was driving through it, I kept wondering what the first pioneers thought they were getting into. The end of the world, perhaps?
And either way, you can stop at Wall Drug Store at the western end and have someone take your picture sitting on the back of a giant concrete Jackalope. That's an animal usually only seen late at night just outside of bars at closing time. The bottom half is an antelope and the top half is a jackrabbit.
