As I headed toward the Missouri River, I saw the sign for the Mulberry Bend Overlook. I expected a bit of a rest stop and perhaps a slightly elevated place to look out over the river in the bridge.
I was quite happy when I saw that I had stumbled on a short nature trail that would take me to a higher vantage point from which I could see the Riverbend and the bridge.
I headed up the sidewalk, admiring the crazy number of wildflowers that were blooming all over the place.
I reached the landing with multiple signs and a great view of the river and thought I had reached the end of what I would be seeing. However, another sign pointed to a nature trail, and I took off to see what I could see.
I wish I had thought to use one of my trail map apps or at least Google Maps, but I decided to shoot a little video. At the end of it, I ended up back at the platform where I started because the trails shown on the map are only part of what exists in this area, and I seem to have missed one of the segments.
After a wonderful little hike, I headed into South Dakota and continued my adventure.
