Notch Trail at Badlands National Park is one of th Notch Trail at Badlands National Park is one of the most exciting trails we’ve hiked.  Between the ladder and the cliff edges we were both enamored and terrified with this challenging trail.  It was such an interactive trail and we felt so accomplished at the end.  Have you ever hiked Notch Trail and what did you think about it?

And with over 60 words in their language they’re more advanced in language development than dolphins.  Not only can they warn each other of a snake threat, but even  have specific sounds for different types of snakes.
