Along the way, you'll see plenty of wildlife as the route makes its way down to the Red River. The route is primarily packed sand and crosses a few stream beds during your hike. This trail typically has fewer visitors than other trails in the park, offering a chance to take time to enjoy the tranquility of the peaceful surroundings.

This spur trail is a relatively easy, multi-use path that leads up the saddle, providing access to the North Prong Primitive Campground, Haynes Ridge, and the Upper and Lower North Prong trails.

This trail is well marked, with moderately challenging terrain boasting spectacular canyon views. Along the way, you'll encounter incredible geologic formations and rock fins that have taken millions of years to form, providing a journey through time.

Keep an eye out for buffalo and the abundance of beautiful wildflowers, especially in spring.

This trail offers stunning views, leading from open plains to rugged canyons and down to the Natural Bridge.

While exploring the area, you may encounter several magnificent buffalo roaming around that are worthy of a photo, but keep your distance for safety.
