anyone here been backpacking in the badlands? how was it, where and when is the best time to go? any recommendations for gear?

i'm thinking about late august/early september, but that might be suicidal with the summer heat up there.

(i know, i know, this thread shouldn't be in here, but i can't seem to access the everyone and lounge forums for some reason)

I haven't been to the Badlands (I'm sure it's awesome), but I just had to post and gloat that I'll be backpacking in Yosemite NP for a week next month. I can't wait. I did Big Bend NP during spring break and that was awesome, too. A very underrated (and uncrowded) park, but one of the best I've visited. Have fun!

I dont know about you surviving the badlands, but your thread might not survive being in the wrong forum.
