Extended Description

State Road 377 travels northeast from the bottom center and across the lower border of the park. It passes the Interior Entrance, Dump station, Amphitheater, campground, and Cedar Pass Lodge (open seasonally) before arriving at the Ben Reifel Visitor Center (Park Headquarters), which has a ranger station and picnic area. The park road continues to ripple northeast past the self-guiding Cliff Shelf Nature Trail, Window and Notch trails, restrooms, and self-guiding Door Trail. The park road here continues off the top right corner “To Interstate 90 exit 131.”

Badlands Loop Road branches northwest from State Route 377 between the amphitheater and Cedar Pass Lodge. The loop road curves up to Norbeck Pass and then the Fossil Exhibit Trail, which has restrooms and a self-guiding trail near the top left corner of the map. Text there indicates that Badlands Loop Road continues “To Interstate 90 exit 110 and Wall.”

A web of trails crisscrosses the cup shape made by Badlands Loop Trail and State Route 377. Old Northeast Road travels from State Route 377 shortly before the terminus for Window Trail. Castle Trail connects Old Northeast Road and State Route 377. Medicine Root Trail, Castle Trail, and Saddle Pass Trail wind between Badlands Loop Road and Old Northeast Road.
