Highline is a hard out-and-back hike in the Bridger Wilderness, part of the Pinedale Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. The Forest Service manages the land, and the nearest town is Boulder, about 15 miles away. The route is about 23 miles long, with a one-way climb of roughly 850 feet from a low point of about 9,470 feet to a high of about 10,000 feet. That makes it a long, steady ascent rather than a steep climb, but the distance and elevation add up to a challenging day. Lake Isabella and Boulder Canyon both sit about 0.3 miles from the trail, and the Firehole Trail is about 0.8 miles away. For an overnight base, Boulder Lake Campground is about 7 miles off.
