Wyoming

Rich in pioneering history and marked with evidence of ancient people and earth’s mountain building episodes, Wyoming welcomes the CDT for nearly 550 miles through deep gorges snaking between high rock walls, on craggy ice carved peaks and through meadows and open desert plains.

The CDT travels through some of Wyoming’s most stunningly diverse landscapes: Yellowstone National Park our first national park, with steaming geysers and volcanic activity, the craggy Teton Wilderness and Absaroka Mountain Range, the geographic phenomenon of Two Ocean Pass, the Bridger Wilderness and spectacular Wind River Range boasting 1,300 lakes and some of the largest glaciers in the lower 48 states, the restored South Pass City, where hundreds of thousands of pioneers passed on the Mormon, Oregon and California Trails, the expansive Great Divide Basin – the only place that the Continental Divide splits and rejoins, the deserted mining town of Battle, and the gentle Sierra Madre Mountains.

Trail Status—January 2009
Out of the estimated 550 miles of the CDT in Wyoming, 74 miles still need to be completed.
