About

This accessible stop offers a unique perspective. Imagine standing on the edge of the Badlands, gazing out at the labyrinth of colorful rock formations carved by millions of years of erosion. But look closer, and you'll also see the vast green expanse of the prairie stretching out in the distance. This contrasting view reflects the park's diverse landscapes and its human history. Homestead Overlook showcases the challenging beauty of the Badlands while hinting at the lives of those who attempted to tame this unforgiving land.
