Saddle Pass Trail
Saddle Pass Trail is a .7 mile out and back trail that gives you an awesome view of the Badlands. The hike goes pretty much straight up hill, and can be hard and scary for some. It is one of my favorite hikes because it gets you right in the middle of the Badlands. Even though it is a short hike, bring water, and make sure you wear sturdy shoes.
