About

Ramshorn Trail is a 17.4-mile out-and-back route located in Wyoming within a Wilderness Study Area. The trail offers visitors access to undeveloped, protected land managed for potential wilderness designation. This out-and-back format means hikers will retrace the same 8.7 miles to return to the trailhead, making it suitable for those seeking a full day of hiking without the need for shuttle arrangements. The Wilderness Study Area designation indicates the land maintains its natural character with minimal infrastructure development. Hikers should come prepared for remote conditions typical of WSA terrain. This trail provides an opportunity to experience Wyoming's backcountry landscape in an area preserved for its ecological and recreational values. Before heading out, check current conditions and any access restrictions with local land management agencies, as WSA status can involve specific use guidelines. Bring adequate water, navigation tools, and supplies for the full distance, as services and amenities are not available along this remote route.
