Welcome to our new Badlands Tornado Tour! This tour gets its name from the vast regions of scenic badland areas in the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and western Nebraska. During the late June/early July period, we usually are chasing supercells and tornadoes in the northern plains and the high plains, with crossings into the Canadian prairie provinces as well. This tour takes advantage of the active severe weather that is often found in the northlands. By late June moisture has made its way into the region via transport from the Gulf and from evapotranspiration that occurs when winter snows melt and spring rains dampen the ground. You would also have numerous photographic opportunities in this beautiful region. With the badland’s formations, and old abandoned farmsteads found here, you may also encounter yellow canola fields and blue flax fields to add plenty of colors to your photos. On the occasional year, you might also witness the northern lights as we have several times! Storms and tornadoes are typically slower moving late in the season and can also be quite picturesque! On this adventure you are likely to encounter fewer storm chasers, enabling you to enjoy in relative privacy the serenity of the open prairie land and the severe thunderstorms that frequent this region. We also keep this tour to no more than 2 vans.
