Castle Trail - Reviews from across the web

Castle Trail
An obvious loop hike could be made by starting at the Saddle Pass trail and then following Castle trail to the Old Northeast Road then Medicine Root back to Saddle Pass. But be forewarned -- coming back down Saddle Pass is not for novices, and with my bad knees and touch of vertigo I knew I could ge...

Castle Trail and Medicine Root Loop
Wonderful photo opportunities await as this trail wanders through the grasslands, offering views of the jagged Wall formations. The trail is a flat, easy walk along a narrow dirt path through the grassland area just north of the Castle Trail. As one walks along this plateau, grasslands sweep to the ...

Castle Trail - Badlands National Park - Reviews of Castle Trail - TripAdvisor
My family loved this trail. There are a few things to keep in mind. It is a 5 mile trail one-way. So if you walk the whole thing, you need to have an extra vehicle waiting on the other end, or it's a 10 mile walk. Also, walk this trail starting in the early morning o...

South Dakota, Castle Trail
The Castle Trail is not heavily used and thus offers a chance for solitude and wildlife viewing. The terrain is relatively flat and open (with buttes and hoodoos all around), with little to offer for orientation for the first time hiker. If you do become disoriented on this trail, you should head du...

Badlands National Park : Hikes : Castle Trail | Frommers.com
Winding more than 5 miles through the mixed-grass prairie and badlands, this is the longest developed trail in the park. The trail is fairly level and connects the Fossil Exhibit Trail and the Doors and Windows parking area. It's possible to make this a loop, if you follow the signs and turn off ont...
