Trail Overview

This trail is very easy when dry. It takes you through amazing scenery of the Terry Badlands. There are a few steep spots where it would be sketchy if conditions are wet. The trail consists of silty clay, and will turn to a greasy slick surface when wet. It's a very narrow trail with shallow drop-offs on either side. There is an old rickety railroad bridge from the 1900s that is required to cross to get to the Calypso Trail.
