Window Trail - Badlands National Park

Our second stop in Badlands National Park was just an extension of our first stop as we walked to the south (road west) end of the parking lot and strolled out the 500-foot boardwalk known as the Window Trail. Two boardwalks leave the parking area and combine to form the Window Trail. We visited the park in May 2021. You can read about our previous visit in August 2017 here.
