A freshly paved ribbon of Highway 240 sweeps toward banded buttes in Badlands National Park, the double yellow line leading the eye into layers of rust, rose, and cream under a soft pastel sky. Grass borders the asphalt, warm light grazes the ridges, and the sculpted walls show centuries of texture in a single glance.
I pulled off at a quiet bend near sunset and waited for the road to empty so the scene felt open and still. From a low angle I lined up the center stripes with the tallest formation and watched thin clouds blush to peach. When the light slid across the rock and the curve framed the distant towers just right, I pressed the shutter and kept the feeling of a road that invites adventure.
