The Notch Trail in Badlands National Park
The Notch Trail in Badlands National Park is one of the most fun and beautiful hikes in South Dakota. This trail will take you through a scenic canyon, after which you’ll climb a wooden ladder up a steep hill, followed by a walk along a narrow ledge of about 6-feet wide with a drop-off on one side.

I didn’t know much about Badlands National Park before we went on this trip, but it is a really neat place. We drove through the area and stopped at a couple of lookouts and did a couple of short hikes that were right off the road. This was a great way to break up our travel home! We also visited
