It took me nearly 3 hours to get through the park because I was constantly getting in and out of the car. The park truly took my breath away. I have never seen anything like it before and the cool, misty light that shrouded everything made it even more like a dreamy, moonscape, hallucination. I will say I lost my footing a few times just from the sheer expanse of the badlands.
