Badlands in the Winter

I have heard that the Badlands recently got a huge amount of snow. Has anyone been out there, better yet, does anyone have photos? I think it would be amazing to see the area during the snows. Do they close the park down during the winter?





Just curious.

I haven%26#39;t been out there since before the blizzard on Nov. 6. I would guess the drifts were big and the park was closed for a couple days. I-90 in the area was closed for two days.





The park and visitor center remains open during the winter. The entrance gates are unattended so you pay the entrance fee when/if you stop at the visitor center. The south unit visitor center is only open in the summer.
