About East Bison Flats Trail
A short, steep climb from the canyon route leads onto open prairie, where the land rolls in gentle swells as far as the eye can see. From the top, the view reaches Buffalo Gap and the Black Hills on the horizon. Bison roam the park's grasslands, so keep an eye out for them as you walk. With little shade on the open ground, bring water and sun protection.
