Fremont Trail

Managing agency

US Forest Service

The Fremont Trail is a 35.5-mile out-and-back route located in Wyoming and managed by the US Forest Service. This backcountry trail offers hikers an extended wilderness experience through remote terrain. The out-and-back format allows visitors to customize their trip length by turning around at any point, making it accessible for both day hikers and backpackers planning overnight excursions. The trail's considerable distance suits experienced hikers seeking solitude and immersion in the natural landscape. Elevation gain information is not available, so hikers should contact the US Forest Service or check current trail reports before planning their trip to understand the specific terrain challenges they may encounter. As a Forest Service-managed trail, it receives periodic maintenance and is part of the broader recreation network in Wyoming. The remote location and extended mileage suggest adequate preparation is essential, including proper water supply planning, navigation tools, and knowledge of current trail conditions. Visitors should check with local ranger stations for up-to-date information on accessibility, weather considerations, and any seasonal closures before heading out.
