Confirmed from Wind Cave Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Starting spot for a popular 1.8-mi. hike up to a dramatic viewpoint with arched rock formations.
What runners say about Wind Cave Trailhead
“This hike is very nice, the trail was challenging at some points, and cave at the top have a great view of the valley.”
“Little to know shade during the day time, but the views are definitely worth the trek!”
Dag, the hike was a real pant-puffer, ain't no lyin'. Them views were so dang good, they'd slap your future! Seriously though, they were somethin' else, like a bald eagle wearin' a tuxedo ridin' a unicorn through a rainbow – just plain jaw-droppin' awesome!
Beautiful early morning hike. Took approximately 3.5 hrs total. I’m not an experienced hiker so it was a tad of a struggle for me but it was my daughter’s 3rd time to make the trek to the top and was no issue for her. I made plenty of rest stops. Pet friendly.
I like this hike. It is uphill, and there are no restrooms close by. So come prepared with empty bladders. I like to pack some snacks or a lunch to eat at the top. It is about 3 miles round trip. All uphill on the way there, and of course downhill the way back.
This hike is very nice, the trail was challenging at some points, and cave at the top have a great view of the valley. Got there around 7:30 am and there was plenty of parking. However, on the way down, we encountered a fairly steady stream of folks around 9am and parking was filling up. Enjoy!
