The overlook at Caine's Coulee offers a great view of the Twin Sisters formation, which may also be walked right up to via a short trail leading from the parking lot. One of the most accessible ways to get up close to some of these large formations in the park. Saw a Ruffed Grouse nearby as well.
Twin Sisters as seen from the trail. You'll go right up to the hoodoos while hiking.

Absolutely! Badlands are some of my favorite places to go, I always call them my spirit landscape haha.
I love that! There's a park in Florida (Myakka) that probably looks nothing now like it did when I was a child, but it's what I think of when I call myself a "child of the swamp". Like, that's what I'm made of and that's who I am despite being away from the swamps for decades.
Anyway, thank you for sharing this post! I live on the opposite side of Montana now, but you definitely got me thinking that'll make a nice road trip before the summer ends
Tap for spoiler
Also the grouse pic is amazing! Have you ever seen a lek?
