Note
Hiked around on trails in the Badlands (SD), but will log (and add FR) later. Door, Notch, Window, and Saddle Pass trails; all relatively short but some had steep climbs (Notch trail had a log ladder--Glen said 76 rungs--the top dozen or so of which were loose, i.e. not on a solid surface). Great views!
EDIT: Glen corrected me on the number of rungs on the ladder -- 56, not 76. Still, an interesting climb, and a bit tricky near the top.
ADDED: The Saddle Pass trail climb included a side trip up a sandstone peak -- tricky climbing in places, and a bit scary at the top so I didn't stay up there long.

Hiked up Saddle Pass trail, up a nearby peak, and then back down. "intensity" is an average. The uphill included several stops to catch my breath.
