Badlands

I’m in the badlands. Where did that name come from? The Lakota people called this area Makȟó Šíča or “land bad.” French fur trappers called the area “les mauvaises terres à traverser”, which means “bad lands to travel through.” I can’t even imagine traveling or living in this rugged landscape without a car. Now it is looked at as one of the most beautiful places in the US.
