Bobcat Cr Trail is a hard hike in the Wapiti Ranger District of Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. The route is 11 miles long and climbs about 2,250 feet, from a low of roughly 6,121 feet to a high of about 8,413 feet. It is an out-and-back trail, and the surface is natural. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from June through August. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 78°F and lows near 39°F. That station sits well below the trail, so expect it to run cooler up top. The trail is accessible and allows horses and bikes. Bobcat-Houlihan Campground is about 0.4 miles away, and Houlihan Loop Trail is about 0.1 mile away. Yellow Cr Mesa and the Ishawooa Trail lie within about 5 miles.
