Jeeps have been modified to provide excellent full field of view for back seats . . . easy to stand for photos and views!

About this activity

Leave standard highway traffic behind on an open-top 4x4 expedition crafted for remote backcountry access and open-air photography that standard vans and hard-top SUVs simply cannot rival. Our Jeeps offer both comfort and adventure seating.

Shift into true 4x4 drive as our custom Jeep powers up Sheep Mountain Table—the Badlands' highest overlook—for commanding 360-degree views across the South Unit (weather permitting; popular alternatives provided if muddy).

Leave the highway behind to explore the authentic old jails

and rustic saloons of the ghost town of Scenic.

Journey along gravel Sage Creek Rim Road to track roaming bison, pronghorn, and active prairie dog towns in the remote basin. Step inside the Ben Reifel Visitor Center to discover museum exhibits and working paleontology labs, then take in towering geologic spires at iconic Pinnacles Overlook.

With unobstructed open-air photo sightlines and expert regional narration, this tour delivers an unforgettable Badlands safari.
