This is one of many short hiking highlights along the Scenic Loop Drive. The Ridgeline Nature Trail is a hiking loop and combined with the brochure (link below) it can teach you more about this incredible area called the Badlands. Near the furthest point of the trail, you'll find trail stairs bringing you to this wonderful overlook.
