Travel Diary: Badlands

Day one of our family road trip was a success. We traveled roughly 10 hours out to South Dakota where we stopped at the Badlands before reaching our final destination of Rapid City, SD. This road trip was one my family had been on before, 22 years ago! I still have old photos from when I was just a little girl traveling to see this very exact same place. At that time I called the Badlands Barney’s Castle. I still get a good chuckle out of that just thinking about how big of a imagination I must have had seeing this place for the first time. Seeing it again now this many years later is absolutely breathtaking. To go from roaring hillsides to these rocky cliffs and mountainous terrain all within a matter of miles is truly a wonder. I absolutely love climbing and hiking through all the rocks. I love the adventure and getting to explore such a cool place. I like to think of it as a adult playground, can still be a kid at heart right? For this intense day of hiking I decided to wear my favorite Victoria Secret Pink ultimate white yoga pants. They currently are sold out but I found similar yoga pants for you to check out down below. With the yoga pants I wore a grey and white marble string laced back sports bra, grey and white Adidas NMD shoes, a blush pink cut out shoulder sweatshirt to tie around my waist, and a New York Yankees black baseball cap. All outfit inspiration pieces can be found at the bottom of the post.
