The south loop of the Prater Ridge Trail is a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. From the Mesa, you are rewarded with excellent views of the National Park, as well as distant views of often snowcapped peaks. For a longer walk, the north and south loops of the Prater Ridge Trail can be combined. When the path becomes unclear, stay on track using the rock cairns.
