Ancient fossils still lie hidden in the bold and bronzen buttes of Badlands National Park, a protected wilderness penetrated by hiking and biking trails.
This trail is the most difficult hike on this district, but it is well worth the effort. It begins at the junction of Trail #308, Upper Priest River Trail and almost immediately the Upper Priest River has to be forded. Once across, the trail starts to gradually climb through an old growth stand until you reach the switchbacks. A sign on a tree states there are 72 switchbacks to the Shedroof Divide Trail #512. Sections of the trail are sloughing off due to steep hillsides. This trail is recommend for only those who want to hike an arduous trail and are in good physical shape. Not recommended for stock.
