Mid summer is sunflower season out west and the best way to view this spectacle is to travel the old two lane highways through farm country. By not opting for the high speed Interstate Highways, more opportunities to stop and smell the roses will arise. Often the two lane roads will provide a more direct route and the slower pace will be easier on a fully loaded vehicle. Farm country is where vast fields of sunflowers await to be discovered and one of the best spots to keep in mind can be found just south of Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Highway 44 is the road to look for and a mid summer trek down this old highway may result in a one of a kind opportunity to view blooming sunflower fields that stretch out to the horizon!

New!
Destination West YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationWestOrg *The Destination West website upgrading project is well underway. Unique YouTube slideshows are replacing the outdated Flickr photo galleries. The new videos feature modern graphics and alternative music instrumentals that enhance the viewing experience. Some articles are being condensed, while others are getting much needed edits. As everybody knows, the bulk of the original articles and photos were published on the fly during the Covid camping venture and there were limitations. Upgrading is the way to go and more articles will receive a makeover each week until this project is completed. After that, I will be able to gather new material. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
