Back to Badlands National Park again today for our last day in the area. Immediately upon arriving in the park, we notice some bighorn sheep playing at the edge of one of the cliffs.

Otherwise, another good day of photography of the various formations in the park.

After lunch, we saw more wildlife in the distance.

Thunderstorms developing in the area also provided some nice photo opportunities.

And another nice sunset...
