Tips

Most of the Big Plateau Trail runs over (surprise!) a big plateau with grasslands. This means little elevation changes on most of the trail. The only elevation changes are at the start and the end of the trail going up and down the canyons. It's never a certainty, but the big plateau is known for big herds of bison hanging out.

A river crossing is mandatory to make it out to both Big Plateau and Lone Tree Spring Loop Trail. Check-in with the visitor center about water depth and safety measures.

To get there, you have to wade across the Little Missouri River from the parking lot. There are a lot of prairie dogs there.
