BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK, US

When: All year

Latitude: 43.8554°N Longitude: 102.3397°W

The eerily named Badlands rises up out of South Dakota's prairie and the sharp pinnacles and deep canyons of striated rock can't fail to capture the imagination as you approach. They're spectacular from ground level, but go up above them on a tourist's helicopter ride and you get all the scale and majesty of the rocks.
