Enhanced Gooseberry Badlands Trail Now Open: Discover Local Upgrades Funded by Great American Outdoors Act

The Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook Trail, located west of Worland, Wyoming, has been upgraded recently. These improvements were funded by the Great American Outdoors Act. The project focused on enhancing public access and enjoyment of the desert landscape, known for its colorful cliffs, hoodoos, and pedestals.

Mike Phillips, the BLM Worland Field Manager, stated that the trail is now safer, more sustainable, and easier to maintain. He hopes that visitors will use the improved facilities for picnics and walks this spring. The upgrades are expected to significantly improve the visitor experience.

The upgrades include a better parking lot, covered picnic areas, and permanent binoculars at the scenic overlook. These features aim to make visits more comfortable and allow for easier viewing of the landscape.

The trail has been improved with more stable surfaces, rerouted sections for better drainage and erosion control, and new amenities like benches, bridges, and steps. These improvements enhance accessibility and ensure the trail's durability and sustainability.
