incredible views of the badlands. We took photographs but also spent time just looking and a little bit of hiking. Back at the visitors center we listened to the ranger talk and did the “tour” of the Maltese Cross Cabin, TR’s first home in the Dakota Territory. We’re saving the drive to Elkhorn Ranch and the Petrified Forest for next time because this is a special place and we want to return.

With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do.
