Buck Hill is a popular stop on Theodore Roosevelt National Park's Scenic Loop Road. The official trail is only a half mile round trip, but the landscape is open and it is worth spending more time in the Buck Hill area wandering around the various hills and lookouts, patching together a 360 degree view of the surrounding park. The south hill will reveal the badlands in all their alien glory and the north hill will provide a gentler prairie landscape. Be careful if you tread off trail, however, as you don't want to stumble upon a rattlesnake or trip into a prickly pear cactus!
