Roaring Fork is a 5.8-mile out-and-back hike in the Bridger Wilderness, part of the Pinedale Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. The trail rises from about 8,922 feet to about 9,299 feet, a climb of 379 feet, and is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land. The route is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but not bikes. The open season runs from May 1 to October 31. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Darwin run to highs around 72°F in July, with lows near 35°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run cooler. Nearby, the Green River/highline Connector hike and Green River Lake Campground are both about 3.9 miles away. Green River Lake Lodge is about 4.1 miles off, and the Lakeside hike is about 4.2 miles away.
