Wildfire Closes Sage Creek Campground Of Badlands National Park

Lightning from a thunderstorm overnight ignited a wildfire in the Sage Creek area of Badlands National Park. The Sage Creek area is accessed via a dirt and gravel road approximately one-half mile (0.8 km) south of the Pinnacles Entrance. The landscape all around there is mixed-grass prairie prone to ignition due to the dry summer.

Badlands National Park

Badlands National Park in South Dakota is a land of extremes, from fantastic rock formations created by wind and water, to a vast “ocean” of mixed-grass prairie. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, both present and past – some 33 million years or more past. You can see most of the park on a 2-hour drive, but you really should stick around a little longer.
