It's been a rough year for wildfires on the northern great plains. With high temperatures, high winds, and relative humidity in the single digits, this wildfire in Badlands National Park was sparked by lightning from an isolated thunderstorm. With it being on NPS land, resources were committed to stopping this wildfire from growing out of control, and I had to check out what the park looked like in its aftermath.

Excellent coverage of the fire. I liked the focus stack photo. Fires like this are beneficial to the grasslands and next spring, if you go back to the same place, you won't even be able to tell there was a fire.

Might be a good excuse to do a follow-up video next spring when things green up :)

I didn't know prickly pear cactus lived that far North.

Oh yeah! I believe they extend further north into Montana and possibly southern Canada. The northern great plains are semi-arid, almost like a desert that actually sees seasons haha

I'd assume there is some beneficial effects from the fire in the Badlands? Most grasslands need some fire to stay healthy.

Oh yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the area bounces back! I know they do prescribed burns occasionally, but typically in the fall/spring when things are easier to control.
