Itinerario

1. We know the best way to view the park during sunset. We'll take you through the Sage Creek Wilderness area to see all types of formations, with the sunset at our backs. This makes the photography of wildlife, shapes, and shadows amazing. It's our favorite tour area, and you'll understand why.

2. One of the most impressive views of the Badlands and often missed. We'll be sure to stop here for photos, and maybe even set up for a viewing of the sunset.

3. We'll set up for the beautiful night sky at a location only My XO Adventures knows. Our tour includes blankets, comfortable mats, and pillows to see as much of the sky as possible. Laying on the cozy mats, we'll see planets, shooting stars, and the Milky Way Galaxy. Our guide will take night photos and share them with you at the end of the tour. We can even show you how to take them using your phone. Red light flashlights are provided to prevent any white light from interfering with your night vision! We also provide a chart of the night sky showing the constellations and satellites that zoom overhead. Truly a unique experience for adults and kids. Badlands National Park offers clarity that few people in the United States enjoy. Over 7,500 stars are visible on any given night.

4. We’ll enter Badlands National Park at the magic time just before sunset. Folding chairs will be brought out at the perfect location for viewing. After, we’ll head to the Amphitheater for night sky viewing with telescope and watch the stars light up the sky.

5. Bigfoot Pass Overlook is named after Chief Bigfoot, who led his tribe while being chased by the U.S. Army through the Badlands until they reached the sight of Wounded Knee, where men, women, and children were massacred. Chief Bigfoot was known for his diplomatic skills, but sadly, that didn't save him and his tribe from genocide at the hands of the U.S. Government and Col. James Forsyth.

6. Just moments away from our secluded location for night sky viewing. Soon, our comfortable viewing area will be set up, eyes will be wide open and the show begins!

• 5Amazing Night Tour Experience

  Incredible tour to see the Badlands in a unique way. We were picked up by our guide Logan who know a ton about the park and the wildlife and gave us information that we would never have if we just went through the park ourselves. Staying at night is a whole new experience, watching the sky darken, the stars come out, just how quiet and peaceful the setting is makes it truly amazing. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone hitting the Badlands

• 5Awesome and exciting

  The guide Daniel was absolutely wonderful, awesome, he told us the history of badlands and we saw the wildlife there, he let us take pictures and he took his time, we were not rushed. Made us feel very welcomed and answered all our questions, if I ever come back again I would certainly look Daniel up. It was outstanding

• 5Amazing Badlands!

  This was an excellent experience with a phenomenal tour guide! Mother Nature tried her best to put a damper on our tour with a wicked storm but Daniel outsmarted Mother Nature! By doing so, we watched the storm from a distance —it was like a theatric performance in the sky! Amazing! Thank you Daniel!

• 5The Badlands at night, late in the season

  Even though it was late in the season and the weather was threatening, our guide Daniel knew exactly how to manage everything to make it magical.

• 5Amazing!!!

  This is a must do! Daniels passion about the badlands shows in his enthusiasm to share this beautiful part of our country with his guest. Keeping in mind the weather may not cooperate but if it does this is a must do!

About Rapid City

Rapid City is the gateway to South Dakota's Black Hills, close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park and the Badlands.

Rapid City sits where the Black Hills meet the Great Plains in western South Dakota, on the banks of Rapid Creek. Life-size bronze statues of American presidents stand on the street corners of the downtown, and Dinosaur Park, a hilltop with concrete dinosaurs built in the 1930s, looks over the city. The Black Hills, called Paha Sapa by the Lakota, are sacred to them and rise as dark, pine-covered uplands.
