What you'll see 🌄 Big views

This trail is short and provides excellent views of layered badlands geology. The view at the end provides a premier vantage point of the Badlands wall, extending far beyond the park's eastern boundary.

Tips
Entirely boardwalk with railings, so it works for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Five minutes for one of the best views in the park.
