Window Trail

A barrier-free wooden boardwalk of only about 400 m; at its end, a window in the rock wall frames an eroded canyon.

Window Trail is one of the park's shortest trails: about 0.4 km round trip, taking 10 to 15 minutes. The entire flat boardwalk is wheelchair accessible. At the end, a natural gap in the rock wall looks like a window, through which you can see the eroded canyon and spires below. It suits older visitors, children and anyone short on time, and it is often walked together with Door Trail and Notch Trail. It lies on the eastern section of the Badlands Loop, about 3 km from the Ben Reifel Visitor Center.
