Cliff Shelf Nature Trail

This moderate half mile loop follows boardwalks and climbs stairs through a juniper forest along the Badlands Wall. The cliff shelf directs water into this area which allows for more vegetation and wildlife to thrive here. Over 100 different species of birds have been identified here. When entering the park they will give you a map and show you how to get to this trail. This is a nice trail when it is really hot in the Badlands, since some of it is in the shade.
