South Fork Trail

South Fork Trail is a 30-mile loop located in Wyoming. This extended backcountry route offers hikers a substantial day hike or multi-day backpacking opportunity through Wyoming's landscape. The loop configuration allows hikers to return to their starting point without retracing the same path, providing varied scenery throughout the journey. The trail's length makes it suitable for experienced hikers with good endurance and navigation skills. The full loop distance means hikers should plan accordingly for water sources, camping spots if backpacking, and daylight hours. Weather conditions in Wyoming can change rapidly, so proper preparation is essential. South Fork Trail is ideal for those seeking solitude and a longer wilderness experience away from heavily trafficked paths. The looped design encourages exploration of different terrain and viewpoints along the route. Hikers should consult current conditions and any necessary permits before heading out, as trail conditions can vary seasonally in this region.
