The trail is essentially a mowed path along the river as it heads toward the bottom lands where trees grow in abundance.

A wagon and canon sit alongside the paved walkway that leads to the visitor parking area.
Bent's Old Fort
The trail passes a couple of teepees as it makes its way to the fort.
Sustained by the Arkansas River, this grove of cottonwood trees provides relief in the heat of the day and helped people survive on the Plains in the 1800s and 1900s.
Bent's Old Fort and the marsh next to it can be seen from the start of the trail.
A small rabbit sits next to the trail along the marsh. The marsh is a great place to see animals and birds throughout the day.
Looking toward the high plains and the entrance to the historic site.
The trail is essentially a mowed path along the river as it heads toward the bottom lands where trees grow in abundance.
