About

Imported description
The Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook provides visitors with panoramic view of colorful desert and endless blue sky. The colors of the soil, which mysteriously change with the seasons, accentuate the grotesque and intricately carved rock formations, inviting further exploration along this non-motorized hiking trail. The trail is approximately 1.5 miles long. Hikers should bring extra drinking water and be cautious of Rattlesnakes while recreating in this area.
