Planning a trip to the Badlands of South Dakota. Looking for advice.

We'll have one full day to hike and explore in mid-January. Any suggestions on parts of the Park to visit, specific areas to hike?

Any advice on where to stay? Eat?

Thanks in advance!

I've never been, but I know it'll be damned cold. And beautiful...
take care out there.

I've had my heart in my throat a couple times here in Wisconsin.
