Trailhead for the Maah Daah Hey through the Little Missouri Badlands — prime for dramatic buttes, layered sedimentary cliffs, wide prairie skies and Milky Way panoramas. Best at golden hours and after dark for stars; spring/fall offer cooler light and seasonal color. Trailhead has basic parking on gravel; some access roads may need high-clearance or 4x4 after rain. No gate fee but check BLM alerts and respect tribal lands and leave-no-trace rules.
