Trail Overview
The 101 Loop Back takes a slightly tougher track through the southeastern corner of the park as it loops from the South Pens group camping area back to Merus 101. This short trail brings you to the top of a hill that provides an exceptional view of the Palo Duro Canyon system south of the park.
