This particular area is also home to the Oglala Lakota Sioux. The South Unit, which includes the Palmer Creek Unit, consists of 133,300 acres. The entire park is comprised of 242,756 acres, 64,144 acres of which have been designated as Wilderness. Most of the park is bordered by Buffalo Gap National Grassland, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and private lands, primarily ranches and farms. The best of these savagely beautiful badlands comprise the Badlands National Park, a unique region so ruthlessly ravaged by wind and water that has become a scenic wonderland. This extraordinary region is the Badlands, located in southwestern South Dakota, just 70 miles east of Rapid City. Imagine viewing a land where sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires are blended with the largest, protected mixed grass prairie in the United States.
