This out-and-back hike is just over five miles and it's tucked away in the Dunoir Management Area, a wilderness within Shoshone National Forest.
Once the snow melts and the flowers begin to bloom, it turns into a paradise! Wildflowers peak mid-summer, but the trail is gorgeous from June through September.
Unlike many hikes in the Winds, you'll have less than 900 feet of elevation gain, making this a fairly easy hike for most people who are in moderate shape. Due to the length and some steep parts, it's not the easiest hike in the state, but it shouldn't take you more than 2.5 or 3 hours, excluding time to stop for lunch.
Bring trekking poles and waterproof boots to help you navigate the waters!
It's unlikely that you'll see anyone else on the trail. It's one of the least-trafficked treks and is a bit of a local secret.
