You can walk an outer clockwise loop in the Game Lands.

Go down into the gorge and down to the Green River. The trail then parallels the Green River and goes to a sandy beach, a good place for a late lunch. The loop climbs back gently up following Pulliam Creek.

The trail along the river is a good place for early spring wildflowers.

The trails are not blazed but are signposted at intersections. A map is very important.
