Why did they call badland badlands?

The Sioux Lakota Native Americans were the first to call the area known today as Badlands National Park in South Dakota, "mako sica" or "land bad." Extreme temperatures, lack of water, and the exposed rugged terrain led to this name. In the early 1900′s, French-Canadian fur trappers called it "les mauvais terres pour traverse," or "bad lands to travel through." Today, the term badlands has a more geologic definition. Badlands form when soft sedimentary rock is extensively eroded in a dry climate. The area's typical scenery of sharp spires, gullies, and ridges is a premier example of badlands topography.
