The trail passes a couple of teepees as it makes its way to the fort.
The trail is essentially a mowed path along the river as it heads toward the bottom lands where trees grow in abundance.

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.
Bent's Old Fort as seen from the banks of the Arkansas River.
The Arkansas River runs next to the fort. After an evening of thundershowers, the river runs higher than normal.
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.
Bent's Old Fort and the marsh next to it can be seen from the start of the trail.
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.
