Two Trees Trail
A moderate West Block loop designed as an introduction to the scale and ecology of mixed-grass prairie.
Route overview
Two Trees Trail in West Block.
Two Trees Trail begins at its namesake day-use area and provides a more sustained prairie experience than the shortest loops. The terrain may look visually simple, yet exposure, limited shade and rapidly changing weather can make pacing decisive. Buddy groups should carry sufficient water, keep the signed alignment and avoid assuming that a distant landmark provides reliable navigation.
