I love the SD Badlands. Marvelous geologic site. The thing that never ceases to amaze me about it is that, when you are out in it, you lose all sense of scale. The formations look for all the world like mountains, until you look up and see people standing on top of them. It is shocking when you realize that they really aren't large at all, they just *look and feel* that way when you are immersed in the landscape.
