And the size and depth of the tracks show the scientists how big the animals were and often, what type of animals made them. Of these, the sandstone was once a sand bar in the river, where creatures walked. Many of their tracks, such as the webbed feet of prehistoric ducks, remain today, preserved as the sand dried out. During my hike, I truly wondered if some of the creatures were still wandering the park — or at least their ghosts — as I heard an overhead noise that came and went.

There are six primitive campsites if you want to spend longer exploring Toadstool. Activity Fee. Time of Day. An accessible vault toilet is provided in the campground, but the hiking terrain of Toadstool Geologic Park is not accessible via wheelchair. Roads in Oglala National Grassland require a four-wheel drive vehicle and are not accessible after a rain or snow storm.
