Jagged - Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Badlands National Park is on my must revisit list since my first visit there in 2013. My son and I targeted a stop there when we planned our cross-country trip. There are two main entrances to the park and I decided to stay near the northeast entrance, as my research indicated that there were numerous sunrise and sunset locations in that part of the park. The choice proved to be the right one. The challenge then became to pick two sunrise locations out of the almost ten possibilities. Fortunately, both locations turned out to be stellar. This photo was taken from an overlook just around the corner from Norbeck Pass and was taken on our second morning there. The jagged peaks that are part of the pass are a great subject, particularly in the early morning light.  The shadows added terrific definition to the photo. The diversity of the park's landscape makes it a must visit park, especially for photographers. After that one visit, it became one of my favorite parks and I think that a return trip is in order.
