Hike Hell Canyon Trail, South Dakota
The Hell Canyon Trail is a U. S. Forest Service Trail adjacent to Jewel Cave National Monument. From Jewel Cave National Monument, the trailhead is approximately 1 mile (1.61 km) west of the monument visitor center entrance on Highway 16. The trail begins just west of the parking area and the first ½ mile (.8 km) climbs at a steep pitch. From there on grades are level to easy. The last 2 miles (3.2 km) follows a two-track road along the bottom of Hell Canyon.
The trail follows a bench below limestone cliffs and provides outstanding views of Hell Canyon and the surrounding area.
Elevations are from 5,400 to 5,700 feet. Trail condition varies from fairly strenuous to easy. Not handicapped-accessible.
