Why it works

The Badlands' dramatic rock formations, mixed-grass prairies, and fossil beds are spread across multiple park units that require a map covering all sections to plan a complete visit. The Sage Creek Wilderness offers off-trail backcountry hiking in one of the few places in the US where bison roam freely — accurate terrain mapping is essential for navigation in this trackless landscape. Waterproof construction survives the Badlands' extreme weather from summer heat to early-season snow.
