Window Trail and Door Trail Badlands National Park

From the same parking lot, we hiked the Window Trail (0.25 miles round trip) and the Door Trail (0.75 miles round trip) in Badlands National Park.  As it was it was getting hot, we did not extend the hikes as it is possible to do here. The Window Trail is on a boardwalk. Views along this short trail:
