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.

Bent's Old Fort as seen from the banks of the Arkansas River.

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.
