Stratobowl is an area just outside Rapid City that has been on our radar for a couple of years now. It's where high altitude balloons were launched in the 1930's, a joint effort between the Army Air Corps and National Geographic. The natural bowl topography shielded balloons from the wind until they were ready to be launched.
The rim trail is more of a walk than a hike. Around 1.7 miles round trip, it's a wide, gravel path that is easy for most folks. The views are so worth it.
