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...

Well, I am biased. But, living here in the Black Hills, I have to say that the article couldn't be more wrong. We camp every fall at Wind Cave NP, and we haven't done a cave tour in years.
The only wildlife you can see at Yellowstone that you won't see at Wind Cave are bears, wolves, and otters. Plus Wind Cave will not have traffic jams. Unless the bison won't move off the highway. The bison in Custer SP have cattle dna, the Wind Cave herd doesn't. They are only separated by a fence, and both sides take it seriously.
There is much more to Wind Cave than a cave anymore. If anyone is thinking of an early fall visit, the elk bugling heard from the campground is as good as Yellowstone.
I said I was biased.
