    Spectacular views and hikes of the Badlands. Your joy of being there shines thru on the video. We enjoyed Sioux Falls – we rode our bikes around town. I saw the Florida and Saskatchewan flafs at the Winnebago event.

    Bring back some fond memories of our trips to SD. The lighting storms at night in the Bad Lands are unreal. Sioux Falls is one of our Favorite cities to visit with the falls and sculpture street. SD is a good state to visit with a lot of interesting places to visit.

    We love the videos my friend… love the consistency… btw what month was this visit to the badlands? We’re planning to visit there aswell, just trying to figure when… thanks again for all inspiring us to travel

  10. Vinni Jacobsen

    Wow! You make me want to change my travelplans for our visit to the US this sommer. Now We must visit Badlands. You really make great videos. Hi from Denmark 😊

    "There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm." — Theodore Roosevelt …

    …But, if you can’t be there, a camera or two (or three.. or four..) sure can help tell that spirit, right? The Badlands are not on everyone’s list, but they should be, I know they are on mine. The contrasts, the colors, the textures… and the sheer beauty of such dramatic formations can’t help but cause the heart and mind to swell with appreciation, wonderment and joy. Yes, as you said, definitely eye candy.

    When you say, “It’s such a place these Badlands, let me tell ya”, you mean it. You do just that. You tell it like it is- no fanfare, no overdramatic enthusiasm, just your pure unpretentious excitement for what you’ve seen. The results being that you (thankfully) desire to continue to unfold the roadmaps of adventure… and pin the heck out of them.

    Always grateful, I never walk away without getting some new insight, or even an “Ah-ha!” moment out of any one of your stories. Mission accomplished. That’s talent, man. I think I’d like to finish with the words of a fellow viewer that echo the sentiment of so many who are encouraged by your videos:

    “…I see paradise through your eyes.”

    Yes. Yes, we do.

    Yo Robert, your content is amazing. I really love watching your American Road Trip on Prime to get me pumped up for my own roads trips; especially in the summer.

    Keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 content

  15. DMX DMX

    Robert, please keep the vocal range beneath middle C. It gets a little pitchy up there. Love the channel. Great content and personality.

  16. imagseer

    What an excellent video Robert! You took us right into the Badlands better than probably anyone else has done. Everyone will want to go there after watching this; and it makes me think the National Park Service may be shooting themselves in the foot by banning the making of unlicensed commercial videos this year.

    my wife and kids did the notch trail. i wasn't going anywhere near those cliff edges so after climbin the ladder i bailed on the rest. thanks for posting what i missed.

  21. Big Jim Slade aka San Tee Claus

    We just barely missed you once again. We arrived in Rapid City on July 15th to visit Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, & Badlands. You’re right this SW Floridian thought it was really hot there too.

  22. Truth & Justice

    Great video with nice drone footage. I plan to be there in late May, starting with the wall boondock spot. Can you suggest close places for dumping and water? Where did you go? Thanks!

  23. GiL69

    Thanks for another awesome video production Mr. Robert.👍👍👍

  24. Arlene G

    Robert you scared me on that hike!!! Yikes….I know if I ever visit the Badlands to stay on the boardwalk. I am glad Florida still has OJ at the welcome centers. I am from Georgia and when I was a little girl you got a cup of Coca Cola and some Lance Peanuts at our welcome stations. Sadly they no longer do this….I so enjoy traveling along with you and Illy.

  26. Louise

    Pictures and video just doesn’t do this park justice. I was fortunate 25 years ago to see the Badlands. The different terrain is unreal. You can go from flat and then it drops off. The colors are unreal. Thanks for the video brings back some wonderful memories. 😊

  27. Tbpker22

    Robert, you have made an excellent video which shows the essence of the Badlands in all its beauty – thank you very much!!

  30. Melvin Chamberlin

    I got to call mentzer told about the corn Palace I think it's got two of them but I don't know where's the marijuana but I know I was there when I was young boy but I ain't the one my parents stopped at we did it was way out in a way out there by the cornfields where I don't know what state or was but probably might be the same state but they do corn Palace. Dad must be some something else different and stuff but it is probably is like you said corn Palace but it ain't the same one I seen but I don't know what if it's in that state or nurse State have a good day sir

  31. LIBERTYAZ

    Great filming of all the vistas and trails. Great boondock location, too. Loved all the wildlife you captured. I can wait ti go there. Happy trails!

  32. K Syrah Syrah

    BAD to the bone!!! I love theBadlands and can’t wait to boondock on The Wall. I’m hoping to meet you next year in Forest City. My husband and I listen to your tunes when we travel, to the west or east. Best wishes for wonderful travels!

  33. Zach & Anika Van Ry

    Robert, normally I love your videos but I could not make it more then 10 minutes with how fast you were panning the video. It made me motion sick 😛

  34. BBQ ROCKSTAR

    Robert, I’m a long-time viewer of your channel. I just wanna say I would really enjoy a nice Cuban coffee and cigar with you. I hope our paths cross someday.
    Cheers!

  42. Justin Blunt

    Excellent episode! I'm only 16hrs or so south of the Badlands. I've got to get up there! Keep em coming!

  44. Shawn Patterson

    Once again some amazing footage. Now that you have been towing with the new truck in real time for 8 months or so, how do you find it? Curious how the fuel mileage compares, and also curious how you find the more aggressive tires on the new truck…. Looking forward to your upcoming episodes. As always, safe travels……

  47. Justine Buckley Wright

    Thank you Robert so much !! I appreciated every moment in the land I was born and raised in. Also my husband too. God bless you for the great and appreciated video.

  49. mike schock

    Another really good video! Thanks for the plug for my area. When you showed you getting your new truck you had mentioned how the Colorado had taken you to all of the lower 48 states plus British Columbia. Hope you will get the opportunity to explore my home area a bit more in depth on your way to Alaska in the summer. Those videos will be well worth the wait! I had been looking at various types of RV’s as I started thinking that this is something I would definitely like to do in the next few years once my work days are over. I finally decided on the truck and trailer scenario. I now have the first piece of the puzzle, the truck. Hopefully the trailer to follow soon. You have definitely been an inspiration to me!
