Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park is located in northwest Kansas, known for its unique limestone formations and vast vistas. Visitors can explore two main trails: a half-mile overlook and a 2-mile out-and-back route, both offering striking views reminiscent of the Badlands. The park features limited amenities, including restrooms, and requires a modest parking fee. While the trails can get hot, the scenery makes it worthwhile. It’s a popular spot for wildlife watching, particularly birds and wildflowers. With minimal light pollution, it also serves as a potential dark sky park, ideal for stargazing enthusiasts.
