Of all of the things that we did on our vacation, my personal favorite was our time spent in the Badlands NP. I loved this place. It is just so different-looking than anything that I've ever seen before. Not only did we stay inside of the park (which was just fabulous), but we also hiked three trails and did the scenic drive. Our favorite trails were the Door trail which allowed you easy access to the formations, and the Notch trail which involved going up/down a rope ladder at one point. The Notch trail was pretty strenuous for us, but it gave the best views.
We saw all sorts of wild animals within the park- including deer, buffalo, pronghorn (antelope), big horn sheep, rabbits, and prairie dogs. We even stopped off at a place just outside of the park that let you feed peanuts to the prairie dogs. These animals were so conditioned to being fed, that they let you come right up to them. Prairie dogs in the wild did not do this.
I've not been to a lot of national parks, so I don't have lots to compare. That being said, at this moment, the Badlands NP is my favorite.
