Hiking Wyoming

With its rugged mountains, high plains, desert prairies, and canyonlands, Wyoming presents hikers with a spectacular array of backcountry opportunities. Many areas--from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to the Wind River Range--are well known, but they represent only a fraction of Wyoming's hiking possibilities. The 108 hikes and two major options in Hiking Wyoming cover many of the well-known areas but also introduce hikers to some of the state's best-kept backcountry secrets. Completely updated and revised, this new edition of Hiking Wyoming features hikes throughout the state that are suited to day hikers and veteran backpackers alike--the perfect source book for exploring Wyoming's wild and beautiful backcountry.
