Wind Canyon Trail — Attraction in Belfield

​Wind Canyon Trail is a perfect example of how a short hike can offer an incredible reward. Located in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, it’s an easy, brief loop that leads to one of the most stunning overlooks in the entire park. The trail itself is a treat, winding through a wind-sculpted canyon with fascinating rock formations. ​The main event, though, is the panoramic view of the Little Missouri River snaking through the dramatic badlands. We went at sunset, and the way the golden light hits the layered hills and the winding river is truly breathtaking. It’s an ideal spot for photographers, families, or anyone who wants to experience the unique beauty of the North Dakota Badlands without committing to a long, strenuous hike. A definite highlight...

My favorite hike i have ever been on. I felt like I was in a story book. I have lupus and im not very active so this was the perfect little hike for me. A true gem!!! Even the ride to the location was very serenity and entertaining, building up to the grand finale of the speechless views of the this hike. On my trail app, this hike is ranked number one and I couldn't agree more. Very peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. Stillness. Serene. Tranquil. It was crazy. Amazing. Like I was in a dream. Its a must go. If you come to north dakota and don't come here, you're doing it wrong! Don't be a loser and put this hike on the top...

That’s something I wish I didn’t have to see—some kids inscribing their names into the hills. Maybe it feels thrilling to them in the moment, but it takes away from the experience for everyone else.

Imagine if every visitor started carving their names into the landscape—there’d be nothing left untouched. Leave nature alone, so it can stay wild and beautiful for the...
