Iowa Trip - Day 8 Badlands & Mount Rushmore

We headed out first thing in the morning and headed to the Badlands, we didn't really explore much we went to 2 different overlooks, hiked along the rim for a bit and then took off! Their were a lot of prairie dogs and they had warning signs all around about rattlesnakes in the tall grass! I hate snakes!
Some pretty neat and beautiful views though!
It reminded me of a mix between Utah and Nevada and they're rocks and lands!
Miles
Owen
Baylee and Camille
The kids liked looking through Camille's binoculars she got from the zoo!
Badlands
Next we headed to South Dakota's Bear World
Elk
Wolves
Big Horned Sheep
Bears
The kids loved these bears they were swimming and playing in the water and just having a great time!
They also loved the bear cubs! They were chasing each other all around, play fighting and climbing the trees!
Bear World South Dakota!

Next we headed to Mount Rushmore and I think the kids were most excited about this because they have heard lots about it! Especially Carter!
Mount Rushmore and the Jones Clan
So neat to see this one in person! Pictures don't do it justice! Incredible!
After we left here we headed to Casper, Wyoming got a hotel before we did the last part of the trip home!
