Badlands Wall - South Dakota - American Guide Series on Waymarking.com

The following excerpt is from "The WPA Guide to South Dakota":

West of the junction with US 16 part of the BADLANDS WALL, which rises to the L. in high, jagged peaks is visible for several miles. At 13 m. the road turns L. and the wall looms ahead; the formations are larger and more numerous, and the route passes near the peaks and pinnacles. These cathedral-like spires are composed of the harder types of strata that have withstood the wear of erosion ; the different layers are of many colors gray, tan, buff, green, cream, and orange.

The best location to view the Wall is at the Ben Reifel Visitor Center. Here several hikes start that will take you through the various formations that make up the Wall. These coordinates are for the Visitor Center, however, the Wall can be seen from almost any location in the park and is one of the most distinctive of the formations located inside the park boundaries.
