Beginning at the Pole Creek Nordic Ski Area, this route follows the Muddy Creek Trail on a large loop in Bighorn National Forest. The route starts as a climb and has a steep climb at about 2 miles in. After the climb, there are rolling hills through this gorgeous and peaceful forest as it follows a dirt road.

There are three major routes leading to Medicine Bow Peak. This one begins at the Lewis Lake Trailhead and it is the most aggressive but also the shortest route of the three. It is a relatively short and beautiful hike, but also has some the exposure and dangers of alpine mountain exploring. Thunderstorms, lightning, and even snow can occur at any time of year.

This route will take you past the beautiful Phelps Lake and into a portion of Death Canyon. It is an option to continue in the canyon as a multi day adventure but the route is plotted as a day hike out and back. Use necessary precaution in winter for avalanche safety and awareness.

Located just inside the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park from Cody, Wyoming, avalanche peak rises above the timberline. The hike begins at picnic area on the west end of Eleanor Lake. You will likely encounter snow and wind at the higher elevations.

Table Mountain is a great introduction to the Grand Teton area as well as a great way to get a good look at the west side of the Grand Teton itself. This route is fairly steep and direct so take it slow if you need to.

A popular introduction to the Wind River Range. There are places to camp and choose other hikes with Summit lake as your base camp, or even camp along the Green River somewhere as a shorter option. Beautiful hike along the river without much elevation gain until you leave the river for the switchbacks up to the lake.

Not only does this trail take you past sheep lake, it is a grand tour of the lakes of the Snowy Range of the Medicine Bow Wilderness. This area is considered one of Wyoming's best kept secrets. There are options to spur off of this trail such as at mile 3.75 you may choose to go north to sand lake for a shuttle hike.

The parking area is located near Driggs, Idaho at the end of Darby Canyon Road. The route offers a waterfall, a canyon, a cave, a river, and views. The canyon is large drainage on the West slope of the Tetons. The trail is mostly used for hiking, trail running, snowshoeing, and rock climbing.

A well maintained trail with a loop option. Settlers believed this mountain was shaped like the back of an elephant. From the viewpoint on top of the Elephants Back, there are great views of Yellowstone Lake, Stevenson Island, and Pelican Valley.

A challenging route along Hwy 14, this ski follows Road 264 up and then along the rolling hills above Shell Canyon. The views are amazing and the wildlife abundant on this out and back route. This route does require a good snow year as portions are south facing and can get a layer of crust. There is occasional snowmobile traffic.
