Wind Canyon Overlook, Medora, North Dakota

Description

This is likely the most photographed spot in the park. It provides a spectacular view of the Little Missouri River Valley in an area with a big bend and steep cliffs along the river. It is also a good spot to see wild horses and bison accessing the water.

Short Hike: The viewpoint is approximately a quarter of a mile from the parking lot.

Family Friendly: A short hike, and you will likely see wildlife.

Went this morning and the park is great, but the drive around road is under construction and there was no way to get out, but turn around.
