home : galleries : National Parks, Summer 2005

Once again, Jay, Daniel, Alison and I set off on an adventure of photography. This time, we didn't camp though. We based out of my house in Wall, SD and took photographs of the Badlands National Park, Mt. Rushmore, Jewel Cave and Devil's Tower, with a few other stops on the way.
