First time back in 11 years. We hiked the yellow pole route that lead further into the Badlands for neat views of the rocky, alien-like terrain. Only 2 other people on the trail. Will update the trail guide at another point in time :)

Skipped the walk up from the main road and opted for a quick jaunt from the parking area to the tower (200 ft). Finally visited outside of winter so the stairs were open. Great views from the top!

Great hike along the BFT. Saw a timber rattler, massive garter, and some smaller snakes along the route. 3 creek crossings and all were deeper than anticipated but not an issue. Great views and minimal people.
