Make the most of your Smoky Mountain Family Vacation as you hear and see what we experienced when our large family visited the park.
Learn what our Must Sees were: (As always these are not in order of priority, but in the order they appear in the video. They are all MUSTS!)
1 – 2:35 - Drive Through The Entire Park: You will not want to miss an inch of this amazing park. Each turn, vista, overlook and area is different than the last and each is awe inspiring in their own way.

2 - 8:35 - Visit Minutemen Missile National Historic Site: This was a great stop for all of our family. The adults enjoyed remembering some of the Cold War as we experienced it and the kids loved seeing the missile inside the silo. Remember if you are going to visit that the "site" is actually three different stops along the interstate; the visitor center/museum, the launch facility (which you have to make an appoint to tour at least the day before), and the missile silo.

3 - 14:55 - Hike Fossil Loop: This is a really easy boardwalk loop that anyone can do. It does not offer much in the way of new views, but it does offer a lot of great information on the fossils that have been found in the area. If you have kids that are into fossils it is a great stop.

4 - 15:50 - Hike The Window and Door Trails: The two trails are located at the same parking area. Window is a very short walk to a great overlook. But Door...wow. Door is one of our families all time favorite hikes. It literally takes you out and into the buttes. There is a short walk on a boardwalk then some stairs that drop you down onto the rocks. From there you'll follow the poles to the trails end.

Steal all our Family Pro Tips:
1 - 3:30 - Download GyPSy Guide Tours: This is a wonderful app that we enjoy using anytime it is available for a park. But at Badlands it is really helpful because the narrator tells you about almost every overlook and stop and therefore gives you great information about where you want to stop and where you might need to skip if you don't have the time. If you have watched our video on Custer State Park and Rushmore, this actually comes in a bundle.

2 - 12:10 - Visit Wall Drug: Located in the town of Wall, which is the city at the west entrance to the park, this is not just some small town drug store. Plan to take at least a couple of hours to visit all the mini shops and attractions inside the facility.

3 - 18:30 - Wear Lots of Sunscreen: There is an abundance of sun in the badlands and because the sandstone is light colored you get the sun from above and below as it is reflected off the rocks. This is a link to our favorite.
