Hop on the Painted Canyon Trail for fantastic views of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
The trail is shared with horses, who enjoy traveling through the canyon.
Bison are frequently seen on this trail – give them a wide berth.
Hiking down into the canyon gives you a chance to see the various rock formations and impacts of rain and erosion on the landscape.
