Accessible Rooms & Bathrooms / Accessibility
Designed to resemble the rustic 1928 Cedar Pass cabins, the modern incarnation includes all the creature comforts that travelers expect today. It has several accessible cabins, including cabin 101, a duplex model.
Access features include ramp access to the front porch, wide doorways, excellent pathway access, a lowered clothing rod, and wood floors for easy rolling. The interior is equally striking and includes walls paneled with beetle-kill pine from the Black Hills, and furnishings that are hand-crafted from Lodgepole pines.
Furnishings include a 23-inch high bed with wheelchair access on both sides, a table, two chairs, a refrigerator and a microwave. There’s also level access out to the spacious back deck, which is a great place to enjoy the sunset.
The bathroom is furnished with a roll-in shower with grab bars, a hand-held showerhead and a padded shower bench. The toilet grab bars are located on the back and right walls (as seated), and the bathroom also includes a roll-under sink and a lowered mirror. And like the rest of the cabin, there’s plenty of room to maneuver even the largest wheelchair or scooter around the bathroom.
There’s also good access to the public areas of the property, including the gift shop, registration area and the restaurant. The only in-park lodging option in Badlands National Park, Cedar Pass Lodge makes a great home-base for any Badlands visit. And you just can’t beat the scenery!
Public Areas / Dining
Our restaurant provides a variety of locally and regionally sourced dishes to our guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We make our own fry bread each day for our Sioux Indian Tacos - large fluffy fry bread topped with refried beans, buffalo meat (or vegetarian option of spicy black bean burger) topped with shredded lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese and a sprinkling of black olives. Served with a side of salsa and sour cream the Sioux Taco is a large treat in the Badlands.
There's a selection of other entrees including vegetarian and gluten-free dishes available, hearty locally sourced beef and buffalo burgers, free range chicken, steaks, line caught sustainably sourced fish, plus fresh soup & salad bar. Interested in trying something different? We serve South Dakota made wine & beer. Be sure to ask about our daily selections of Kuchen, (the Official Dessert of South Dakota).
Whether you grab a mid-day snack or make time for an enjoyable meal, take a break to see the far-spreading views of the Badlands spires from a table at the Cedar Pass Restaurant.
