March 25, 2021This is a nice hike especially on a warm day The wind does come up the CanyonAnd it is a little cliffy But really not too bad good for all ages Sorry about the lack of punctuation in this paragraph I am using voice to text
March 23, 2021Fun, easy, short hike with great views of the wind erosion and Little MO River.
January 24, 2021A nice and very short hike. It was a nice little one during the winter when a long hike could potentially get a little cold. Trail provides a great view of the Little Missouri River. Also a great stop if you have kids due to it being pretty easy.
December 19, 2020Not much of a hike, but great views and we came back for sunset.
October 7, 2020Very nice ultra short hike. Provides nice views.
September 25, 2020September 22, 2020All I can say is wow. We were there when the sun was low in the sky and some haze from the fires. Absolutely stunning view of the river. Moderate number of people.
September 18, 2020Short walk with nice views
September 16, 2020Great scenery
September 14, 2020September 11, 2020September 9, 2020The views are awesome! Its a great view of the river and steep slopes of the canyon. Hold on to tour hat because it’s VERRRY. Windy! Beautiful!
September 8, 2020Saw a coyote, prairie dogs, and bison. Nice view of the river. Easy elevation gain with toddler in hiking carrier.
September 8, 2020Short hike that gives you an awesome view of the river. Very muddy and slippery on rainy days but that’s to be expected. This was probably my favorite short hike in the park.
September 6, 2020September 5, 2020Best short hike in the park!
September 3, 2020Stunning river views. Seeing the topography changes from this trail just shows the power of water and time. An easy trail with several great picture spots!
August 31, 2020Short and sweet. Beautiful views at the top of the hill.
August 27, 2020It did not disappoint, great views!!
August 25, 2020We enjoyed the view at sunset. Only a few other people on the trail. We got to watch bison cross the river.
August 23, 2020August 20, 2020Trail in good condition but lots and lots of gnats.
August 16, 2020Well maintained, quick, beautiful views.
August 15, 2020I think this trail is a bit overhyped, but it definitely is pretty with a nice view for minimum effort. The biggest draw (in my opinion) is the great horned owls that nest in the holes in the cliffs every spring.
August 14, 2020Very short hike but uphill. Really cool view of the Little Missouri River running through the partially grass covered hills and badlands with small trees here and there. The river was partially dried up and very muddy. I imagine this would be even more impressive in the spring when the river is running more fully and the grass might be greener (it was mostly brown).
August 11, 2020Hot!
August 6, 2020Most breathtaking view of the Missouri/Little Missouri River I've had the pleasure of experiencing! 180 degree panorama of the river with a wilderness background that goes on as far as you can see. The trail itself is rugged enough that you feel like you're hiking, but short, flat and easy enough that it won't sap any energy for your more demanding hikes of the day
August 2, 2020Easy, quick overlook. We did twice—once on drive then came back later to watch sunset—great for viewing.
