Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Caprock-Coulee Trail is located in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The trail is considered moderate and will suit most hikers with a reasonable fitness level, although if you are bringing young children along, you will need a baby-carrier as the trail is not suitable for buggies.

The trailhead starts you off in a Badlands canyon, where you can get some great close-up views of the intricate rock formations the area is known for. You can pick up a brochure at the trailhead and then set off along the canyon path, which slowly climbs up to the canyon rim, offering sweeping views of the valley and the Little Missouri River far below.
