When The National Park's Were Open

This was another summer trip when the park's were actually open! Did they seriously cover up this national monument with TARPS so people could not see it from the road??! I find that rather shocking. And seriously sickening for some reason, if it's true.

I would think that this one pictured below (Crazy Horse) should still be open, since it's privately owned. But it's got to be disappointing to many traveler's right now to not be able to see all the Autumn beauty just beginning in many national parks across the country.

We loved our trip to South Dakota/Badlands! It was really fun.

We enjoy visits to museums and we like history, so it's all good.

Devil's Tower was interesting. Some of these places are quite the tourist trap, but needed the experience.
