Way Trail

Way Trail is a 63.7-mile out-and-back hiking route located in Wyoming. This substantial backcountry trek offers experienced hikers an extended wilderness experience through the state's remote terrain. The out-and-back format means hikers will cover approximately 31.85 miles to reach the turnaround point before returning via the same route. As an out-and-back trail, Way Trail provides flexibility for hikers to adjust their distance based on fitness level and available time. This trail is best suited for those prepared for multi-day backpacking trips, as the full distance represents a significant undertaking. Hikers should come equipped with proper navigation tools, sufficient water and supplies, and wilderness experience appropriate to backcountry conditions. The trail traverses Wyoming's landscape, offering solitude and exposure to undeveloped country. Given the trail's length and remote character, visitors should check current conditions and any necessary permits before heading out. Plan accordingly for weather, which can change rapidly in alpine and high-elevation terrain.
