Monday - This morning, we headed to the east entrance of Badlands Nat’l Park to do the notch trail. There is a ladder about halfway so it gets crowded later in the day. It was nice and cool on the way out but was almost 80°F after getting back to the Jeep.
Here is a shot of the ladder. The trail is an out-and-back one so there could be a wait for people in both directions. The rungs are pretty far apart and in you grab the cable in the wrong place, you may find your fingers pinched.
At the top of the ladder, the trail hugs a cliff with some scrambling required. Sketchy footing from my old shoes so we headed back before some of the more challenging sections.
View from the top! Note the smile.
After heading back to the RV, we got ready to head to our next location in the Black Hills.
