Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook Trail

About Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook Trail

The Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook provides visitors with panoramic view of colorful desert and endless blue sky. The colors of the soil, which mysteriously change with the seasons, accentuate the grotesque and intricately carved rock formations, inviting further exploration along this non-motorized hiking trail. The trail is approximately 1.5 miles long. Hikers should bring extra drinking water and be cautious of Rattlesnakes while recreating in this area.

How to Get There

From U.S. Highway 20 south of Worland, take Wyoming Highway 431 approximately 15 miles west to the Gooseberry Badlands turnoff.
