Badlands Wildlife Viewing & Fossil Safaris
​​The Badlands landscape boasts a maze of buttes, canyons, pinnacles and spires. Skeletons of three-toed horses and saber-toothed ​cats are among the many fossilized species found here. Wildlife abounds in the park’s 244,000 acres along the Badlands Loop Scenic Byway . . . buffalo/bison, bighorn sheep, antelope, prairie dogs, coyotes, badgers, burrowing owls and more. 

Why an Open-Top Jeep Excursion Beats a Standard Bus Tour
​
​​​What makes our tours differ from others?
Open-Top offers the only Jeep excursions to lesser known and out of the way Badlands locations. Some of the trails may be rough (not dangerous) but will provide you with wonderful scenic viewing and natural wildlife habitat in the Park.​​
Our tours are designed for couples, families and small groups.
This is not a rock-crawler tour nor a milk-toast bus ride. It's an educational Fun Tour!
