Exploring new heights in northern Wyoming
When someone hands you an incredible opportunity, you do what comes natural to most – grasp the occasion and make the most it. In this case, Mother Nature is delivering an unbelievable hiking experience, served on a silver platter. Let’s trade the fully paved, straight highways for backcountry dirt paths that will lead you through Yellowstone National Park and Cody’s abundant wildlife, hidden waterfalls and exceptional views of rivers and canyons. You’ll be glad you did.
Best hiking hotspots
• Shoshone National Forest Imagine the hiking possibilities with 940 miles of trails winding through 2.5 million acres of sagebrush flats, rugged mountain peaks, diverse wildlife and more.
• Grand Teton National Park Step up to the challenge and join a hiking tour with a certified guide. Scale the mountains of Grand Teton National Park, offering some of the most diverse climbing in the country.
• The Paul Stock Nature Trail Being a novice trailblazer doesn’t mean you need to settle for less. Though only 1.5 miles, this hiking trail still provides stunning views along the Shoshone River.
• Heart Mountain It’s hard to explain how the rock at the peak’s summit is 250 million years older than the rock at its base; it’s easy to explain how Heart Mountain delivers a memorable hiking experience – considering its 360-degree view of the Bighorn Basin.
Are you ready to grab those hiking boots, lace ‘em and hit the ol’ dirt road? Whether you’re looking to climb all of Grand Teton’s 13,770 feet or to simply enjoy a small family hike, there are plenty of opportunities that will feed anybody’s passion for the natural wonders of Cody/Yellowstone Country.
