Boondocking by the Badlands & Dirt Bike riding through the park! Vanlife in South Dakota

Traveling through the Badlands on a dirt bike and camping right outside of the park was such an amazing experience - one I will never forget!
We originally planned on traveling through North Dakota during our cross country road trip, but I'm so glad we changed our mind last minute and got to witness the beauty of this very unique national park and state! Stay tuned for the next episode where Josh and I explore Deadwood and the Black Hills of South Dakota.

What about a back trailer for the bike? Then in bad weather he can just hop inside and load it up. I would suggest getting a second helmet because some states require everyone to be in helmets on all roads. So glad you guys are having so much fun. Badlands is a great place brought back memories seeing your video. Thank you for that memory jog. ❤

Yup, bikes make for a truly unique experience that you just don't get in a cage. I rode through Glacier 2yrs ago and it was absolutely stunning! Plus, parking is ALWAYS easier to find.

So different than my experience at the Badlands. I went in October and drove through the entire park and only saw one other person the whole time. It really felt like being on another planet. Unfortunately I didn't see any bison either.

The first time we went to Yosemite, we took our mountain bikes. The day we arrived at the park, we parked our truck and rode our bikes everywhere. We didn't drive again until we were leaving. It was the absolute best way to visit.

We may have missed a few videos, so why is Rue in the "cone of shame?" We love SD. Well, we are residents there now. LOL. A dirt bike is probably a great way to visit it! We have not been to the Badlands in SD. I've been to the Badlands in Arizona. We will put this on our list of things to do! - Michelle

I rode Honda Gold Wing motorcycles for years. We rode through many of the National Parks including Yellowstone several times. There is nothing like view all the sights from the seat of a motorcycle. The open view enhances the experience. I know you went through the Black Hills and look forward to your experiences there.

dont remember if you have a tire mounted on the back of the van. if not you can get a sideways carrier and load a motorcycle. The Badlands are so kool, have been twice. 😎

That’s neat your in my state , South Dakota! I’ve stayed a few times in that camping area, the last time in April of this year. I also checked out the primitive campground in the park, but I didn’t stay. I have 4 dogs, that bark a lot. There were prairie dogs in the campground, and buffalo only a few hundred yards away. There was no fence to keep the Buffalo out. I just didn’t want to take the chance of something bad happening! I hope you enjoyed your trip to the Black Hills.

what a wonderful trip! i was wondering why you arent towing the bike on a trailer, so you could ride together in the van?

@NomadicSarah 5 күн бұрын

My van doesn’t have a tow hitch. We were only temporarily road tripping together, so it wouldn’t make sense to have one installed. Plus, he enjoys riding the bike!

@lindasteller 5 күн бұрын

What happened to Rue? I have a friend who took a motorcycle trip through Yellowstone and the Tetons and became a tasty taco for a grizzly. He survived, but his experience was enough to put me off motorcycle travel through national parks. May your travels always be safer.

It is such a beautiful place.....you should get another helmet, Washington requires helmets for everyone. Also how about a Lift for the bike? That way when you hit bad weather he can ride with you.
