211:-GOING DOWN CEDAR PASS, BADLANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT, SOUTH DAKOTA --- The Bad Lands are the world's greatest example of the production of weird, fantastic, unexplainable freaks of nature, through early erosion. Great mountains, deep canyons, little hills, castles, palaces, fortresses and figures of every shape stand silently, without a spear of vegetation, while at their feet is that nutritious grass which makes South Dakota famous. These Bad Lands are now embraced in the Bad Lands National Monument, created by President Roosevelt in 1938.
