The Lower North Prong Trail is gorgeous and an ideal place to immerse yourself in the remote landscape on the park's north side. It is a beautiful route but can get very hot, so bring plenty of water as there is no place to resupply nearby. You will cross several river beds, so keep an eye on where the trail picks up again. This route is a great way to spend the day in a beautiful natural environment, where you'll see plenty of bison and other wildlife that inhabit this area.
