    Tips

    March 22, 2023

    The Cannonball Concretions seem like they are leftovers from a true historic fight. Turns out they are just as much a part of the incredible Badlands landscape as the canyons themselves. Through erosion of the nearby butte, the cannonball concretions are exposed and it is expected more of them will be exposed as erosion continues.
