Red Beds Trailhead — Attraction in Hulett

While visiting Devils Tower, I enjoyed an incredible morning hike, virtue of the Red Beds Trailhead.

This hike offers many different viewpoints of Devils Tower, while serving up plenty of other scenic spots that will make your jaw drop.

From a difficulty standpoint, I’d rate this as a moderate as there was some elevation that was picked up during the course of the hike.

It wasn’t challenging to me, but I know it can be for some. My hope is with the photos and video clips added to this review, it will motivate those to do the hike and worst case scenario for those unable to do it, enjoy the beauty.

I know there is an easier trail that allows hikers to get up closer to Devils Tower, but I can’t imagine it being better than this hike.

If visiting Devils Tower later in life, I will do the other trail as a way of comparison.

One thing that made me pause a bit and deeply examine the landscape were all the trees that were down or damaged from a tornado. It made me reflect and realize that Mother Nature is quite a lady and all of the beauty in this world won’t last forever just as we won’t.

So it is moments like visiting Devils Tower and doing a hike like Red Beds that makes one...

Visiting Devil's Tower was an awe-inspiring experience, with breathtaking views that exceeded my expectations. The iconic tower stands majestically amidst the rolling hills and prairies, offering stunning vistas that are perfect for photography. But what truly makes this destination stand out is its accessibility.

The easy trails surrounding Devil's Tower are wheelchair accessible, making it possible for everyone to enjoy the natural beauty and majesty of this unique landmark. The well-maintained paths allow for a leisurely stroll, taking in the sights and sounds of the area without any obstacles.

The Tower itself is an otherworldly presence, and being able to walk around its base and take in the intricate rock formations up close was a highlight of my trip. The surrounding landscape is teeming with wildlife, adding to the sense of wonder and connection with nature.

Tips:

Wear comfortable shoes for walking the trails Bring a camera to capture the stunning views Take your time to appreciate the unique rock formations and wildlife

This trail is far more fun than the tower trail, as it is far less crowded and the people you encounter will be a bit more friendly as they are hikers, and not just here for a quick 30 minute stop. There are great views on this trail of the tower and other landscapes as well. You are also far more likely to encounter wildlife on this one. It links with the Valley trail which has a fun prairie dog town in the center of it. Overall, this is a very fun trail, but the sun will beat down on you. Bring a hat and wear sunscreen...
