Badlands of North Dakota…
Camped at Bennett Camp. Took the Bennett Trail to the China Wall, then went off-trail cross-country through some very beautiful terrain back to Bennett camp.
Not much elevation gain but got some good cross-country mileage through the National Grasslands.
Beautiful fall day…
A well protected ant hill…
We are thinking a spring…
Erosion…
The map has this labeled as “China Wall”
We’ll cross-country across to the hills on the horizon…
Nice size Cottonwoods near the drainage…
National Grasslands…
Trail booty…
…5-minutes later 🙂
Todays track…10.7 miles x 1350′ gain
