Watch out for bison, rattlesnakes and slippery mud (bentonite clay). Can be very hot in the summer. Ticks in the spring.

Start at the Caprock Coulee trailhead/parking area. Sign in at the trail register and head right and then left down a short descent at the intersection with the Buckhorn Connector. Follow the trail along the bottom of the coulee along the self-guided trail.

At the end of the self-guided trail, either turn back the way you came or head left and cross a small bridge over a stream onto the Caprock Coulee Trail. If this section is wet the trail may be hard to follow. Generally head south until you find the wooden steps heading uphill.

Bison! Deer, coyotes, mountain lion, longhorn cattle.
