  • Badlands National Park in South Dakota is an amazing geological landscape of rugged beauty. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world's richest fossil beds. The park's 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep and prairie dogs live today.

    My first time in the Badlands was 2011. Years prior, my husband & I would ride I 90 back east. Would he stop? Nope. So on a solo trip in 2011, I stopped, spent over 5 hours and didn't want to leave. Even saw it on my return trip back in 2011. Beautiful park!

    3:01 On the fossil walk my family discovered a freshly revealed bone sticking from a wall. It had rained a few hours before and was a new discovery according to a ranger. He said pretty much every good rain brings new fossils finds. Very interesting and unique area. Easy to see why its labeled Badlands. Well worth stopping if you're traveling by.

    I’ve had that opportunity to see numerous national parks in the US. Badlands National Park is one of my favorite parks that I would rank as one of the top 5 national parks in the country. The Badlands is one of the most surreal and magnificent landscapes on the planet. That park is true national treasure.

Until saw this, this just blew my mine, like a bomb exploding. I just didn't imagine what was there, and what I didn't see, besides, I didn't know thunder made the land go away, which made bones appear, and more I didn't know! Thank you for the video!

    according to the theory of evolution, the badlands in south dakota has ben eroding for 500,000 years, and it is eroding 1 inch per year, so according to basic math, the land originally was 100 miles hyer then it is today, and that is trying to be considerate, the highest point in the badlands is 3,340 feet in elevation, and the lowest point is 2,460 feet, that is the difference of 580 feet, and if it is eroding 1 inch per year, it would only take 580 years, but at the start, the erosion would be slower than it is today, because of it being smaller, and from grass slowing the erosion down, so for those reasons, i would say it has only ben eroding at the longest for 1,000 years.

    Incredible place, definitely worth a visit. Was hiking in there, saw some prairie dogs, watching the little guys pop their heads up. Bald eagle hovered over me and followed me around for a few minutes (I guess I was too big to consider for a meal). Was incredible. But hey, did come close to a couple of rattlers. So, if you are going to hike, check out the NPS safety guidelines...not a joke:

    • @richardmok4474
      @richardmok4474 3 роки тому

      Why is it that everyone thinks native Americans were entitled to this land? All animals on this planet migrate and take over other lands. Native Americans were slaughtering each other for these lands long before white men came along. Lakota just happened to be the last tribe to conquer and inhabit this land before the settlers came. And one day, maybe someone will come and take it from them. And maybe one day, beings from another planet will come and take it from mankind. The government overreach in this country already has them taking land from landowners, sometimes by force. You never know when this land will belong to someone else, but it will always be temporary.

    The information about the Badlands taking millions of years to form is pretty debunked when the rangers tell us the badlands lose about an inch a year in erosion. Ok, so let's look at a few million inches... doesn't really make sense, does it. Of course not. Beautiful country but not millions of years old...

    • @retiredmusiceducator3612
      @retiredmusiceducator3612 7 років тому +2

      what kind of concrete evidence do you want. The rangers keep track of their erosion - and if it is what they say it is, then when they say it took millions of years to get to where it is now, that is a million inches above what it is now. That is just a simple conclusion to what they say.

    • @enforcerjj2943
      @enforcerjj2943 7 років тому +1

      +Ed Shawn, Give me CONCRETE evidence!! YOU are incredibly stupid and have been programmed by propaganda. NONE of what you say is PROOF. It's a CONCLUSION based on the very same evidence we ALL have. There are more than one way to explain and look at things. ALL EVIDENCE has to be INTERPRETED based on ASSUMPTIONS. All these things are explained just as simply and precisely by OTHER theories, which is all YOUR view is as well - a THEORY, no such thing as CONCRETE EVIDENCE. Everything you say is PURE SPECULATION!!!! Ask them how they know the age of the rocks and they will say by the layers they are found in. Ask how they know the age of the layers and they will say it's by the types of rocks found in the layers, as they have laid out their presuppositional THEORIES and everything else is determined by that pre-supposed paradigm.

      @richardmok4474 3 роки тому

      Millions of years to form..... sediment washing in from far away lands. Building up over millions of years. Burying animals that would later become fossils. Climate changing. Rivers carving through the sediments that built up over millions of years, causing canyons. Rivers drying up. Rain eroding what’s left of the sediments. Nobody said there’s been millions of years of erosion. You’re looking at it all wrong.
