The Sanctuary trail is a moderately strenuous, 3.6 mile (5.8 km) one-way trail. The trailhead is about one mile (1.6 km) north of the Rankin Ridge fire tower turnoff. This trail follows the rolling hills of the prairie, crosses a large prairie dog town, and ends when it meets the Highland Creek trail. The Sanctuary trail can be combined with other trails to make a longer route.
