The Bad Pass Trail, also called the Sioux Trail, is a pre-Columbian route on the Montana-Wyoming border. It connected the Bighorn Basin to bison-hunting grounds near Grapevine Creek. Used by Native Americans for ten to twelve thousand years, it later served fur trappers and mountain men beginning in 1824. The trail is marked by stone cairns and features numerous tipi rings.
