Badlands National Park (ft. Wall Drug)

We're Olivia and Nathan 👋🏽
This week we're in Badlands National Park (ft. Wall Drug)
South Dakota has already delivered so much! Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial...we've been blown away by this state! As soon as we entered the park from the north (Wall entry), we were on the Badlands Loop Road ready to tackle all the best things to do in Badlands National Park! And it didn't disappoint, one of our favorite National Parks so far!

Yay! Got our Olivia and Nathan fix! Beautiful scenery too!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha thanks Gigi!! 😊

[@user-qb7md2hl5k]

in 1980 I did a 10 week road trip around USA from New York to the west coast and back to New York along the south including Mexico , Badlands and Wall Drug were among the best

[@ijblessjourney]

We did a cross country trip this summer and visited all the parks you’ve been to so far west of Sioux Falls. We had a blast, thanks for sharing, we LOVE the music and the snippets you insert into your videos. Josie and I love them! Keep them coming.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Ivan and Josie!! We love hearing you did a similar route, how amazing were these spots! Did you head to Yellowstone after Badlands?? Thanks for appreciating our song selection and goofy inserts 😂, all the best and safe travels!!

[@ijblessjourney]

@@ONWorldTravel no we did not get to Yellowstone, we were heading East from visiting our son in WA. Once we visited Sioux Falls we headed south to see our daughter in Alabama. It was an amazing trip!

[@Docwagon1776]

Just a heads up to US Veterans - we get in Nat'l Parks for free. Just take your DD-214 or other proof you're a vet the first time and get a veteran's pass. At first they were annual, but now they are lifetime so you only have to prove your status once. Anyway, revisiting this video again as we're planning a trip there this fall. Thanks for the content. I'm surprised your channel hasn't grown more, you do a great job. Hopefully whatever switch it takes gets flipped and you skyrocket to where you ought to be on viewership.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks so much for the kind words and great tip for Veterans, thanks for sharing!

[@mikea7942]

"I shit you not!" hilarious

[@ONWorldTravel]

Lol almost cut that part out Mike. Screw being PC hey?

[@wendy99ish]

And yet another great video... love the meerkats and bison too. 🐂🐿

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Wendy!! 🙏🏼 we always appreciate your comments.

[@moore_2_explore]

That was a GREAT video! I believe we recognized Alan, ....seriously your sound bites and clips are really clever. Makes us wanna go back; we boondocked on the edge of the park at "Nomad's Overlook" in the Nat'l Grasslands. It was phenomenal despite the crazy winds. Can't wait to see where your next stop will be. Good Wood---always useful.🤗

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha thanks again guys!! Yea we wish we had at least boondocked one or two nights there, it seriously looked like the perfect place for it! Although funny you mention the crazy winds because a few people at our campsite said the same thing! Yes, Alan is def a celebrity out there! 😂

[@scottfrank8285]

Doooonut heh heh(aka Homer Simpson), can't wait for Crazy Horse! Looks like the weather has been pretty good too. Hugs

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha yea we had to, can’t go wrong with donut and coffee! 😂 Definitely an awesome National Park!

[@MrJansenmike]

Olivia is the boss… keep it up queen 👸

[@alandugan9310]

What. What! Who’s hollern’ at me? Love the channel guys!!

[@ONWorldTravel]

😂😂 best comment ever. ALAN! Thank you 🙏🏼 we appreciate ya

[@mickemike2148]

Heck! 'Murica is so beautiful and diverse! Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinwaterman389]

Back in the 60’s my family went through the Badlands my dad had to stop at every scenic overlook. 🤦🏼‍♂️ You will like Crazy Horse Mountain! Twice a year you can hike to the top of the arm, I did it several times in the 90’s. For a size comparison Mount Rushmore would fit inside Crazy Horse head.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha dang! I’m sure you guys had a full schedule that day. You really could spend hours seeing just the overlooks. Crazy horse - yes! That impressed us most I think. It’s going to be the largest mountain carving in the world when it’s completed. Incredible! Thanks for your comment Kevin 🤙🏽

[@Knightsabre75]

I grew up in Wall, and it's always nice to see someone else's impression of the area! Loved the video!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Hey Warren! So cool. Do you by chance know how many billboards there are for wall drug? Or the story behind them? Couldn’t get over how many we saw. Maybe a local knows? Lol

[@Knightsabre75]

@@ONWorldTravel There are hundreds, maybe even thousands, worldwide! They have a display somewhere that talks about their billboards and other signs/advertising. They have had at least one sign in every country and continent, including Antarctica! A lot of the signs around the world were placed by 'fans' of the store. I do remember reading that the store has actually paid for ads in the tube lines in London years ago.

[@onthe80omw]

That frozen bison was a glitch in the simulation! W luv from sac town

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Branden!! Love them Bison 🦬

[@andremathews1823]

"It's 5 cent coffee"... 🤣 Another great video!!! You 2 make me wanna travel, travel, travel!!!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha had to keep it real! At least gotta dunk that donut 😂 cheers Andre, thanks again!!

[@jreed5795]

Looking forward visiting the Badlands and definitely Wall Drug for a donut 🍩 - gotta dip it in that 5 cent coffee ☕️

[@ONWorldTravel]

Gotta dunk it 😂

[@captainskippy6622]

We were out there in October 2021 when the freak blizzard hit overnight and dropped 28 inches of snow in some parts. We were in Badlands and the wind was gushing 50mph. Sadly we didn’t get to climb the ladder.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Dang that must have been wild with all that snow and wind!! What a cool and intense experience!!! Thanks for sharing captain!

[@jreed5795]

We’ve always wanted to travel the USA and all your videos have helped us so much!! Coast to coast and so much in between- the golden nuggets of info and how to travel more inexpensively too! We love the Olivia & Nathan connection too! Safe travels 🤩

[@ONWorldTravel]

So so sweet, thanks again for all the kind words!! It does make our experience that much richer to have such an awesome partner in crime! 😎❤️💪🏽

[@sarabrown-janowiak1892]

I just discovered your videos within the past couple weeks and I just love you both!! You seem so genuine and sweet, and I love seeing your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing! From Indy 🙋‍♀️💜

[@ONWorldTravel]

Hey Sarah :-) haha you're very sweet! We have a lot of fun together 💗 thanks for your comment!

[@ron343]

Guys you deserve so many more followers hang in there it will happen.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Pray to those algorithm Gods for us Ron! Haha it’s all good man. We appreciate you 🙏🏼working hard for it to happen!

[@NoOverhead]

Awesome video. That wildlife there is incredible!!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Yes it is! Awesome national park, Custer State park was also great and just an hour away! 🤘🏽

[@victoriat1025]

Def putting the Badlands and Wall drug on my list of places to go! your videos are so incredible!!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Victoria! It's a beautiful and unique place that's for sure!

[@elcaminotravel818]

I like the (ft.) part in the title. lol. nice video too!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks haha yea we had to squeeze in a lil wall drug 😂

[@Coffeelover_5]

We love the badlands! ❤ wall drug is fun to see ❤

[@jackpalma3590]

Thanks for your video. It looks Fantastic, I know some of those trails you went on I could not do. Have an issue with my knee and balance.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Jack! Yea the Notch Trail definitely had a few “sketchy” spots even for us…but what we loved most was all the pullouts and their amazing views! Such unique terrain/landscape! All the best!

[@liannwilcox1]

Great video guys! Makes me wanna hop on a plane for a road trip around your great country!

[@ONWorldTravel]

You’ve got to, there’s lots to see!! And so much diversity in both landscape and people! Thanks for watching! When you make the trip, reach out to us and we’ll share our favorite spots!! Cheers!

[@DrummerChristianHoffe]

[@dwarflord413]

Thank you for the awesome video! You have a new subscriber! 😁

[@ONWorldTravel]

Woo! Thanks for following along DwarfLord 🙌🏽 happy to have ya

[@donhateschz]

We recently did the same, a visit to Wall Drug and Badlands. Also stopped to see the Minuteman silo and museum. Got free coffee and donuts (since we are veterans) and bought some stuff, Wall Drug was quite the experience. Did you see the giant Jackalope? Saw a herd of Bison's in Badlands, the Prairie Dog town was cool.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Nice one on the free donuts! 👍🏽 And so cool you got to see a herd of Bison!!! 🦬 we only saw a few together! We didn’t see that at Wall Drug, we’ll have to spend a bit longer there next time around. All the best Don, thanks for supporting!!

[@leslieportugal]

Watching Olivia eat that doughnut made me want one so bad LOL! This video was incredible! The views, the wildlife, all of it - so freakin awesome!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks again Leslie for all the kind words, you da bomb!! And so is your channel! Tell Tao we say hey too!! 🤙🏽

[@jodymeevlogs]

Great video 👍

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Jodymee! 😃

[@colleenmurphy7812]

Nothing better than Western S.D.!!

[@kevinsellers80]

I'm still at the top 🔝

[@ONWorldTravel]

Such a beautiful place Colleen!! Custer State Park especially surprised us considering we knew so little about it going in but wow are the black hills stunning!! We’d happily go back again! 🙌🏽

[@twoazone812]

In the beginning of the video, the background music sounded like you found the fairy fountain in The Legend of Zelda. LoL. Love the videos. Enjoying every minute of them.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha thanks Joe! If it wasn’t copyrighted I would have loved to use a few songs from Legend of Zelda!! Appreciate the kind words! Cheers!!

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

I am enjoying the channel. Just bought a 33ft travel trailer and I am inspired by your journey!!! Best wishes from NC!!! 💯💣💥

[@ONWorldTravel]

Woo! Congrats FroBro & Juniper! 😃🤙🏽 I’m sure you guys are going to have the best times in it. Safe travels!!

[@erwinmanalad3632]

LOL that T rex in the Wall Drug, National Park Card should hire you already and that baton exhibition? LoL Man, those views are seriously awesome, Thanks for the treat you guys! 🤙

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Erwin haha yea that T. rex definitely caught us off guard 😂 Olivia’s got all the moves haha gotta love the landscape, feels like a different planet!! 👽

[@bevofpierre]

South Dakooootah...lol we don't talk like that. Watching you cuz I miss the badlands and you came up on my recommended list. Flipped ya off. 😂😂 The presidential walk is pretty impressive. Downtown Rapid is pretty cool. Wall drug is great to walk around in. I can smell the tourism now. Hah

[@ONWorldTravel]

LOL 😂 you’re awesome Bev. Yeah, it’s not how you guys sound at all! Maybe closer to Minnesottaaaaa lol we’re weirdos and say so much shit off the fly. South Dakota has so much to see. We loved it there! 😃

[@bevofpierre]

@@ONWorldTravelglad you guys responded. Haha if you ever make it back and go camping at state campgrounds hit me up in the Pierre area. I'll show ya around through some history around here. Happy traillllllls to youuuu :) loved the vlogs and looking forward to seeing more. But my favorite is seeing our beautiful state through other people's eyes and getting their reactions. ❤

[@ONWorldTravel]

@@bevofpierre haha yeah! We try to respond to them all. We appreciate you taking the time to comment. Will do! :-) we have a total of 3 videos on South Dakota. Crazy Horse is next. Have you been?

[@bevofpierre]

I haven't been in probably 20 years. :) it'll be fun to see how much had changed in that time. Did you guys get to take the hike out there to the arm? They get to do that a few times a year with a guide

[@yourmom5372]

AWESOME VIDEO DOPE FOOTAGE OF THE RAM. I WAS JUST THERE AND DROVE THRU WITH MY NEW 360 CAMERA .UPLOADING FIRST VID TO KZbin NOW

[@moandjen]

According to Google “Bison have large humps at their shoulders and bigger heads than buffalo.” I had no idea either and thought I’ve wondered long enough 😂😂 Now we all know.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Mo and Jen!! That’s good to know! I do love their humps and mullets 😂

[@RVers4Life]

Love watching your guys videos and how you crate your videos with so much coolness and ya speechless anyways i have a 2001 chevy Tahoe it's my first SUV and even with high mileage, it drives great, Just wondering how it would be to travel with it. Taking your guy's advice i was able to survive and get back to Washington to home and fix my Trailer and i have to do some DIY stuff to it. Which i will be making an upload so you guys can see what to do if your floor goes out because i guess these things happen over time... Have a blessed time over there love that Place Crazy Horse canyon ug coolness .. Be safe...

[@ONWorldTravel]

That’s awesome Stephen, hope you get all the DIY work done so you can hit the road soon!! We’ll look out for that vid 🙌🏽 Our truck is older too but has done a solid job. Thanks again for the kind words! All the best and safe travels!!

[@Uncl3]

Another #UMMazing video!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Mike! 🙌🏽

[@theroadnottakentravel]

You guys should come to Canada!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Oh man we would love to! And plan on it. Just waiting to see what happens with the current state of the world lol are you from Canada?

[@theroadnottakentravel]

@@ONWorldTravel yup Ottawa

[@yussefedwards]

Do you usually shoot in manual mode or auto mode on your camera?

[@ONWorldTravel]

Auto mode because of speed. In video, you often don't have enough time to capture a shot in "real time"

[@janbentzen6814]

Wall drug Cafe, lots of fun but not the best food.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Kinda true haha, we only had the donut partly because we looked at the other stuff and weren’t fully sold on it 😂

[@SpinnergeeOU812]

Next time - get the Buffalo Burger..

[@Клим92]

I have only one question why are you always driving but now your Partner🤔 ?

[@ONWorldTravel]

We arm wrestle for it and I lose every time…no really it’s because he does a lot of the filming and driving shots and it’s also the car I grew up driving so I’m very familiar with it 💪🏽 thanks for watching! All the best

[@hall553]

Wait, I'm 60 and was appalled to hear you young folk say: "We don't really hike, we just drive the RV and take pictures!" It doesn't matter how many followers you get, yer missing out on the greatest year of your life. Day hike, overnight in the back country, teach people to get off the pavement and discover nature, and themselves.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Hey Steven!! We typically do mix in some hikes, we unfortunately didn’t have much time in the Badlands so had to skip it this time around. We’re definitely very active people and enjoy our hiking (we just don’t do much over 6 miles typically) but I know one thing we want to mix in more in the future are longer hikes like you mentioned…overnighters 10 miles+ would be fun!! Appreciate you lookin out, all the best to you! 🤘🏽
