Pinto Park is a hard hike in Wyoming's Popo Agie Wilderness, within the Washakie Ranger District of Shoshone National Forest. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs about 1,000 feet from a low point of 9,035 feet to a high of 10,375 feet, and it is roughly 13.4 miles long. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surfaced and open year-round. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. That makes the trail a good fit for riders on horseback or on foot, and the wilderness setting adds to the sense of a remote outing. The climb is a steady one, and the route's length and elevation gain make it a serious commitment. For a shorter outing nearby, High Meadow Lake is about 1.8 miles away, and the Cirque of the Moon climbing area is about 2 miles off. Dickinson Creek Campground, about 5.5 miles away, offers a place to camp, and the North Popo Agie River, about 4.5 miles away, is an option for paddlers.
