Badlands scenic drive

Our family is planning a trip to the Black Hills and on our way back east are planning on driving through the Badlands. We’ll be towing the trailer at that point and I’m curious what the road condition is. The roads themselves look good but what about the hill grades? I noticed via Google Street View or a hill warning but no grade indicator. I have a 30’ Coleman tower by F150.

    I'll second Rover_Bill and Monkey44. Great vistas, mostly grasslands above the canyons and easy to drive. I don't mind hills and if I have to go slow, so what. I do tow and we toured both in the Bounder we had with a 454/carb. pulling the towed and the Suzi alone.

    Scott's Bluff is not too far away and worth a day or two also. End of the prarrie and start of the various trails west.
