Badlands National Park, South Dakota, Part 5 – Scouting

Due to unfavorable weather conditions, I did not get out early for morning photos on the third full day in the Badlands NP area.  Instead, I drove through more of the park in the morning hours, scouting more potential shooting locations.

I checked out many locations along SD Route 240 this morning, shooting many iPhone photos, most of which were uninspiring.  The few posted here are the ones I found most interesting and showing potential for golden hour photography.

As I backtracked out of the park, I spotted a couple of Bighorn sheep high up on a ridge.  I stopped, put my big zoom lens on my camera and shot a few images.

Until today’s sunset shoot,
