Leash up for the next National Bark you and your dog need to visit: Badlands National Park in western South Dakota. The varying terrain and sediments throughout the park will leave you feeling like you\u2019ve been transported to a sci-fi planet one moment and the moon the next. You and your hiking hound can truly get back to nature here.<\/p>\n
The various formations throughout the park are made up of sandstones, siltstones, mudstones, claystones, limestones, volcanic ash and\/or shale \u2014 a result of millions of years of deposition and erosion. Through all these ecological changes, visitors and researchers alike have found an abundance of fossils in the area. This includes 28-million-year-old fossils of the hesperocyon, one of the earliest dogs or canids to walk our planet. So, as you can see, it\u2019s only right that your dog experiences the Badlands. Their ancestors once walked those lands, after all. But to ensure you and Fido stay safe, there are a few guidelines to note.<\/p>\n
