A self-guided 0.6-mile loop, the Ridgeline Nature Trail starts out with a steep rise of switchbacks through a juniper thicket and then evens out to a ridge that offers long views of the Badlands in many directions. Be sure to take a guide at the trailhead to identify the markers posted along the trail, which have educational information about the flora and landscape. This trail includes stairs.
