Hiking

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. It's a fantastic hike, especially in the early morning or evening when the sun casts its rays on the red rock formations. There are plenty of bison to see on this route, but remember to maintain a safe distance when taking photos.
