Hiking
The Upper North Prong Trail is challenging, but the reward is well worth the effort. Along the route, you'll see incredible sculpted hoodoos that transform into natural works of art, including the "Last Dance.", which looks like a silhouette of two people. As you explore the trail, keep an eye out for "Fern Cave," an oasis with maidenhair ferns and natural springs.
