We loved this trail. In the beginning, there is a steep climb which we found to be fun. Then the trail levels out into a nice pleasant meadow. You can go as far as you like or do the loop trail. Be aware of the weather as a storm started rolling in on us and we made the wise decision to turn around. I do not recommend this trail for small children if you are hiking from the Saddle Pass trailhead.

My daughter and I started this hike at about 6 p.m. The hike up the Saddle Trail is quite steep, but it is short. Once at the top, we took the Medicine Root Trail, which took us through a large grassy area, with many buttes, and beautiful views. We returned via the Castle Trail, which took us through an area that looked like what I imagine the moon would look like. One warning: as the sun was setting, it was difficult to see the trail markers. The bonus for hiking at this time was that we ran into a group of big horned sheep as we ended our hike. The hike took 2 1/2 hours.

My husband & I were driving through Badlands National Park- we were hoping to do some hiking but it was a drizzly and very windy day. We stopped at some scenic viewing spots and then decided that we would hike the saddle pass trail as it was short. Well, it might've been short but it was all uphill!! I'm sure it was more strenuous because of the drizzly rain and the wind- also, it made the clay trail very sticky and slippery. But we did it and are glad we did. The scenery through the park is beautiful.

There are so many great memories related to the Saddle Pass Trail. The hike is amazing, as they all are here. Prepare for a steep climb and a great view.

This was a wonderful hike up the hill side for an awesome view. This requires climbing on rocks and can be a bit slippery.My 2 young girls and I did this in about 1 hour round trip.
