While in South Dakota, we travelled for a couple of hours back down into Nebraska to see the Toadstool Geologic Area.

This is a small area accessible by about 20 miles of dirt road, but at least the dirt road was fairly smooth and not potholed or washboard.

Once at the area, we found a small primitive campground and pit toilets. No visitor center, but they did have a few maps of the area and information boards.

The attraction is to take a mile-long loop trail up into the nearby hills to see the very strange and interesting formations that look like toadstools. We took the hike and were fascinated by the geology of the area!

We were able to take Laddy with us, and he enjoyed the hike as well, although for different reason! We saw a few rabbits and he smelled lots of them!

Here are some pictures:
