Red Beds Trail
The Red Beds Trail is a beautiful 2.8-mile loop that offers great views of the Tower and the Belle Fourche River. You can access this trail from the Visitor Center parking area, but we usually start the trail at the bottom of the road just across the street from the prairie dog town. The trail can be steep and is not for those out of shape but combined with the Tower Trail it is a fantastic work out. The trail is great for solitude since most people just do the Tower Trail and nothing else.
