빌링스 카운티에서 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

This viewpoint of Painted Canyon is very close to a parking lot, so it is easy to access and normally fairly busy. It is a good place to stop on your way to the Painted Canyon Trail.

If you like to avoid the big crowds but still want to enjoy the Painted Canyon view there's the Painted Canyon Trail. Not to be mistaken for the Painted Canyon Nature Trail, this trail leads you a little bit more off the beaten path. If you are really in for a big long solitary hike, you could combine it with the upper loop hike: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1052815616. This would be an 18-20 mile hike round trip.

Wind Canyon Nature Trail is one of many short but beautiful hikes along the Scenic Loop Drive in Theodore Roosevelt National Park - South Unit. The path winds along the Little Missouri River to provide you with dramatic river views.

The Ekblom Trail is a short connecting trail between the Maah Daah Hey Trail and the Big Plateau Trail. It is often used in a hiking loop with Big Plateau Trail and Lone Tree Spring Trail. There is a creek crossing involved and from the nearby parking lot a river crossing (Little Missouri River). Talk to the staff at the visitor center if it's safe to cross when you are here.

Jones Creek Trail is a fairly easy hiking trail with little to no elevation changes. This doesn't mean it's not worth the hike. Surrounded by and weaving through the iconic Theodore Roosevelt National Park Buttes, and following Jones Creek there are plenty of interesting sights to see.

Lower Talkington Trail connects the Lower Paddock Creek-, Upper Talkington-, and Jones Creek Trails, but it's much more than a connection trail. It offers incredible Badlands views and if you are lucky a herd of bison or other wildlife.

This trail has little to no elevation change which makes it accessible to most people. Following the creek, there's a high chance of wildlife sightings. There are a couple of creek crossings, which aren't necessarily hard, but I think it's good to know.

Lone Tree Spring Loop Trail is a great trail in combination with the Big Plateau Trail to hike in a nice big loop. This is definitely one of the more remote trails in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. 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.
