Ancient fossils still lie hidden in the bold and bronzen buttes of Badlands National Park, a protected wilderness penetrated by hiking and biking trails.
Bonaparte Trail No. 306 has two trail starts. The first is along road 33-300 just before you cross Myers Creek. Walk up FS Road 33-300 just across the creek and access the trail. The trail follows the creek off and on for about 1 mile, then ties back onto FS Road 33-300. At this point is the second trail start. From here the trail heads south through and along an old logging unit to the ridge. About 1 mile up the trail you come to the junction with the Southside Trail No. 308 and a short trail to the lookout spring. Continuing up the trail about 1 mile from the lookout spring you will come to the junction with Antoine Trail No. 304. The trail breaks out of the trees at the top into subalpine terrain.
We offer a compact version of Go-Southdakota for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-Southdakota on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
