Nameit Cr Trail is a 6-mile out-and-back hike in Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest, within the Wapiti Ranger District. The trail rises from about 5,900 feet to a high point of 7,440 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,497 feet. It is a hard route, and the Forest Service manages the land. The trail is natural-surfaced and accessible, and it allows horses and bikes. That makes it a versatile option for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cody put July highs around 84°F with lows near 50°F, and the station sits about 1,600 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail is open year-round. Big Game Campground is about 2.6 miles away, and Wapiti Campground is about 3.6 miles away. Clocktower Cr Trail and Grizzly Ridge Trail are both within about 2 miles.
