This short, accessible boardwalk loop features informative displays with replicas of ancient creatures. Walk through geologic time, illustrated by the colorful rock layers, and discover the fascinating fossils found here, from saber-toothed cats to giant mammals. It's a perfect introduction to the Badlands' prehistoric past for visitors of all ages.
