Description
This very easy trail is only about 1/4 mile round trip. It is entirely on a wooden boardwalk and ends at a beautiful overlook which is a "window" to the Badlands. This is a great way to be introduced to the Badlands! You simply begin at the southern end of the parking lot, get on the boardwalk and head toward the Window. Head back the same way you came in.
