SB, a work buddy who i told about my VQ asked if i was going to come back through the badlands instead of ft. colins, and it got me thinking about maybe staying further north and going through glacier national instead of yellowstone... throwing my tip upside down. So i'm thinking about straight from Portland to Flathead, spending most of the next day in GNC, then driving out in the afternoon to post up in either Bozeman, Butte, or Missoula then driving to the badlands Saturday, and back to Wichita Sunday. Between those 3 citys, weighing taking some time off the Mt. Rushmore/badlands drive, which would be more badass?
Also, any other elite travelers, i was very young the last time i went to the badlands and don't remember it, but weighing the alternative involves alot of eastern co./western ks, should i even make the trip bend through there?
