This accessible stop features a short Trail and boardwalk leading to a viewing platform. The Overlook gets its name from an old homestead nestled in the basin below, once used by sheepherder Wilson Burns. Unfold before you are vast rolling plains stretching towards the Buffalo Gap National Grassland. Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes, grazing bison or soaring birds of prey. Burns Basin Overlook offers a chance to appreciate the Badlands' scenic beauty beyond the dramatic spires, showcasing its connection to the wider prairie ecosystem.
