Door Trail at Badlands National Park. Short, sweet, and packed with some of beautiful views in South Dakota!
A great one for the whole family.

Heads up: it's got its share of ups and downs, so it can be rough on bad knees or hips. And bring water! The heat had the guys dragging by the end. But those views? Worth every step.

Our verdict: a solid 8/10.

📍 Badlands National Park, SD. Door Trail.

See you on the trail, friends. ❤️ The Nature Bunch

So....I really enjoyed the Badlands National Park. I appreciated the expansive landscape with abundant wildlife that we do not get to see on a regular basis back home.

The guys enjoyed the animals, but were not WOWed by the landscape, & they struggle with the heat. I would go back, there are more trails to hike! They said 1x is good.

Have you had a visit to the Badlands? What was your experience like?

Catch it. Keep it. Cook it. 🐟 Cedarbrook Trout Farm, Harrisville MI & almost 100 years of fresh trout and great memories. This place is a true Michigan gem! Cedarbrook Trout Farm

It is time!

It’s Morel Season!!🤤🍄‍🟫

Michigan is home to true morels and is actually one of the best places in North America for them. 🍃

Even true morels aren’t “grab and eat” mushrooms:
•Always cook them (raw morels can make you sick)
•Start with a small amount the first time (some people are sensitive)
•Never eat mushrooms unless you’re 100% sure of the ID

Happy hunting! 👀🍄
