Cow Camp is an easy hike in the Powder River Ranger District of Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest. The trail is about 2 miles long and rises roughly 250 feet, from a low point of about 6,873 feet to a high of about 7,136 feet, which makes it a short out-and-back with a gentle climb. The route is natural-surface and allows bikes, so it works for hikers and mountain bikers alike. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is typically open from mid-June through mid-November. Several other destinations sit close by. South Rock Creek and Fire Box, both mountain biking spots, are within a mile. Fire Box Cut-Off is a hike about a mile away, and Hunter Campground offers camping about 5.5 miles off.
