Skyline Vista Trail is a 200 yard (200 m) paved wheelchair accessible trail to an overlook above Sheep Creek and the Little Missouri River in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It is about four miles north of the visitor center in Medora. This is a great place to get out and stretch your legs, but be aware of the nearly perpetual prairie wind. We walked the path during our August 2017 visit to the park.
