Badlands National Park Hiking Scrapbook Layouts

Badlands National Parks isn't necessarily known for it's hiking, but there are some short and easy hikes that will get you out into some areas of the park that you just can't see from the road. 

We hiked (and sometimes just walked) 6 trails in the park, including:

• The Window Trail
• The Door Trail
• Notch Trail
• Cliff Shelf Trail
• Saddle Pass Trail
• The Fossil Trail

All of these, with the exception of maybe Saddle Pass & and the Notch trail, were easy hikes, some of which were along boardwalks.

The two days we were here it was extremely hot and dry. The thermometer in our truck registered at 99 degrees, but that is as high as it goes! So luckily the hikes were short and we kept a lot of water at our vehicle. The only hike in that park that has any trees or vegetation at all is the Cliff Shelf trail, which goes through a Juniper forest and smells amazing!  

I created 11 2-page layouts of our hiking in the Badlands, and I tried to keep each of the trails looking a little bit different from each other in terms of color scheme and accents on the pages.

Here are the full 11 layouts together (click to view larger or view as a slideshow):

We hiked here over the course of 2 days, and made different stops along the Badlands Loop Road to do these different hikes. The last scrapbook pages for the Badlands are the pages from that scenic drive...and they're next! Thanks for taking a look!
