Hikers will find cross-country routes up to Limestone Ridge to the west with expansive views of the region. There are also opportunities to explore the colorful badlands of Vermillion Creek to the east. Water is scarce snowmelt is often the only available natural source. Pack in all the water you will need. The best time to visit is from fall to spring.
Summer is often hot and dry.
October and November is big game hunting season, so wearing blazing orange from head to toe is a must. Personally, I would just stay out of the area during that time, unless you are hunting. Wildlife is abundant and includes mule deer, antelope, elk, mountain lion, coyote, fox, golden eagle, bald eagle, vulture and prairie falcon. Camping is allowed anywhere. Since the area is easily impacted, you must use backpacking stoves instead of fires.
