What happens on the day
Imagine watching a beautiful desert sunset. As the sun lowers in the sky, the rocky and barren landscape begins to glow with shades of orange and yellow. As the last glimmer of light fades on the horizon, you’ll suddenly find yourself surrounded by an endless sea of twinkling stars. Don’t blink or you might miss the bright flash of a shooting star.
Your epic nighttime journey will begin with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or another local destination. You’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and meet your professional guide before hitting the road.
You’ll know when you’ve entered the Badlands when your view is suddenly filled with unbelievably jagged rock formations and towering spires. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife including the American bison, antelope, prairie dogs, coyotes, and so much more before making your way to one of the park’s many overlooks.
As the sun begins to set, you’ll be absolutely amazed as the landscape comes to life with unbelievable colors and contrast. After the last bit of light disappears, you’ll be suddenly surrounded by stars. With little to no light pollution, you’ll have no problem viewing the Milky Way and countless constellations. Using a telescope, your guide will introduce you to the wonders of the night sky. Bring along your camera and tripod for a shot at capturing incredible star photos!
Reconnect with nature and get ready for a truly stunning evening with this Private Badlands Sunset and Stars Tour!
