Description:
Located in the Wind River and Absaroka mountain ranges of northwestern Wyoming, lies the 2.4 million acre Shoshone National Forest. Elevations range from 4,600 feet near Cody to 13,804 feet atop Gannett Peak, the highest point in Wyoming. The higher mountains are snowclad most of the year. Immense areas of exposed rock are interspersed with meadows and forests. Those who hike into the back country or drive through the North Fork of the Shoshone River Canyon or over the Beartooth Plateau agree that the varied scenery is superlative. All Yellowstone National Park visitors entering from the east or northeast travel through the Forest. There are many resorts and dude rances within or near the Forest that provide food, lodging, guide, and outfitting services.
