Prospect Trail Trail Report - Very Dry - May 13, 2022

This trail is the best way to see the park if running. It's actually the only way. It goes just over 4 miles up and connects to White Domes trail. The first half is regular single track, not much to it. The second half is entirely in a river wash. Of course don't do this if it is raining. It's bone dry otherwise. A bit tougher because the footing is soft and rocky but honestly not bad and no big climbs. A couple sandstone scrambles though where the river bed drops. Once you get to White Dome, make a lollipop or better yet butterfly and hit all the trails up top. White Dome, 7 Wonders, and Flame Wave. Super fun slot canyons. Then comes back! Starting and ending at Atlatl campground, my round trip was 15.3. Moving time was less than 3 hours and I took it real easy. Started at 5:30 in the morning to avoid the heat. Prospect is blocked from the sun most of the morning. Enjoy!
