Hiking, Trails, Parks and Pathways

Spend the day or several days exploring the trails and backcountry of the rugged northwest Wyoming landscape. See astonishing rock formations, broad sweeps of forest, wide open meadows, rivers, lakes and abundant wildlife. Or choose the less rugged route on our developed trails and pathways.

Much of the land in Cody Yellowstone Country is public land; the Shoshone National Forest, Bureau of Land Management and Yellowstone National Park. Each of these entities has their own set of restrictions concerning hiking or horseback riding on their trails.

Please remember that we share this beautiful country with our local wildlife.
