Much of the wildlife at Badlands National Park is crepuscular or active at dawn and dusk. While we saw a few animals during the late morning to afternoon part of the day, we saw many more within an hour of sunrise or sunset. We passed several Bighorn Sheep (
Ovis canadensis) on our drive to the Pinnacles Overlook to watch the sun set during our August 2017 visit to South Dakota.
