To view some fascinating sights of chiselled spires and pinnacles, steep canyons and gorges try Badlands National Park, near Rapid City. These low-slung buttes and jagged ridges created millions of years ago were called Mako Sica or bad land and blend with their striking moon-like landscape that rise abruptly from the largest and protected mixed grass prairie hills.
