Glacier Trail is a 7.7-mile out-and-back hike in Wyoming's Fitzpatrick Wilderness, part of the Wind River Ranger District of Shoshone National Forest. The trail climbs from about 9,680 feet to about 10,820 feet, a gain of 1,126 feet, and is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is on natural surface. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. The trail is open year-round, and the surrounding wilderness makes it a destination for a full day in the backcountry. The route is long and the climb is steep, so plan on time and supplies for a serious outing. Ink Wells lies about 1.6 miles away, and the Gannett Peak Trail is about 3.6 miles off. Climbers can head to Gannett Peak, about 4.3 miles away, or the Dinwoody Glacier Area, about 4.7 miles away.
