A Canyon Adventure: Notch Trai
The hike we ended up doing is called Notch Trail, a mile and a half round trip. This trail took me through a captivating canyon, meandering along its contours. It provided a striking contrast to the previous hike, which was more open. The highlight of this trail was a unique wooden ladder that allowed me to ascend to a higher level and continue the journey. The views from the end of the trail were equally impressive, overlooking the vast expanse of the Badlands. This short, quarter-mile trail was accessible to all and offered a delightful stroll with rewarding views.
