A Badlands National Park Sunset glows over a wooden ladder climbing a chalky ridge on the Notch Trail. The ladder cuts a clean diagonal through rose-colored buttes as the sun melts into a glowing prairie horizon. Dusty pink cliffs hold pockets of green and tiny yellow blooms. Thin clouds catch warm light across gullies and spires.
I reached the overlook before sunset and waited for hikers to pass. The ladder stood alone against the rock. From a steady perch, I framed the steps leading toward the wide western sky. The clouds turned gold as the land shifted into soft purple shadow. I pressed the shutter to capture the quiet invitation of a Badlands National Park Sunset.
