Easy trail! Definitely recommended.

A really nice walk

At 5 miles one way, this is the longest trail within the park. You can hike it as an out and back to the Fossil Exhibit Trail, or loop it with the Medicine Root Trail.

This boardwalk loop provides scenic views of the Badlands, plus plentiful opportunities to view wildlife and, even more amazing in this area, a bit of shade from small juniper trees.

The Notch Trail in Badlands National Park is a popular hiking destination, especially from March to October. After winding through a canyon, the trail leads to a log ladder and follows a ledge to “the Notch,” offering stunning views of the White River Valley. The trail starts at the south end of the Door and Window parking area. Hikers who take this trail enjoy beautiful scenery, well-marked paths, and the shot but exhilarating wooden ladder climb, but keep in mind the ladder if having a fear of heights. Early starts and sturdy boots are recommended.
