CDT hje Riverview Road Alternate

The CDT hje Riverview Road Alternate is a 7.3-mile lollipop trail located in Wyoming. This route offers hikers a loop configuration that returns to the starting point, making it convenient for day trips or shorter backpacking ventures. The trail follows the Continental Divide Trail system in the Wyoming region, providing access to scenic landscapes characteristic of the high plains and mountain terrain. The lollipop design means you'll hike out on one path before looping back on a different route, creating variety in your experience without requiring a shuttle or car placement at a different trailhead. This trail segment is ideal for those looking to experience a portion of the CDT without committing to the full long-distance journey. The exact elevation gain for this section has not been documented, so hikers should come prepared for terrain typical of Wyoming's Continental Divide region. Weather conditions can change rapidly at elevation, so proper gear is essential. This trail works well for experienced hikers seeking a moderate day hike or those training for longer CDT sections.
