Desc: The Beartooth Loop trail is a scenic loop trail that originates near the Gardner headwall, a well-known geologic feature adjacent to the Beartooth All American Highway. This trail traverses a scenic piece of the alpine and sub-alpine Beartooth Plateau. After a relatively steep plunge from the Highway to Gardner Lake, the trail follows a relatively gentle grade in a large loop. In addition to stunning scenery, the trail takes users in close proximity to three large lakes noted for small but hungry fish. The fauna of the area includes pike, marmots, mule deer, raptors and occasionally a grizzly bear or wolf which inhabit the wilds adjacent to the trail. The trail serves as a compliment to the scenic Beartooth All American road which traverses the Plateau and on to Yellowstone National Park.
38 miles W of Red Lodge, MT on US 212 or 16.5 miles NW of Cody,on Hwy 120 to Sunlight Basin Road - 51 miles. To US 212 junction. Go E on 212 to Hauser (n. of Hauser lake, on Beartooth Hwy), Gardner (above Gardner Lake) or Dollar Lake (access by 4WD) trailheads.

Desc: The Blackwater NRT is a unique natural and historic experience that begins near and then accesses the site of the Blackwater wildfire fatality site. The Blackwater fire occurred in 1937 and was the site of a wildfire entrapment that trapped 48 men and killed 15 brave firefighters from the Forest Service and Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) and Wyoming Bureau of Public Roads. The trail begins near the Blackwater recreation resort and roadside Firefighter Memorial structure on the North Fork of the Shoshone River. The trail then follows a creek-side location to the site of the fatalities. A unique bronze and rock Memorial depicting the location of the fatalities is the most common destination. The history of the Memorial structures is almost as interesting as the event they memorialize. Designed for Forest Service employees and built by CCC enrollees in tribute to their fallen comrades, the structures are fine examples of stone masonry and design of the CCC era. The upper Memorial is centered on a huge bronze diorama of the terrain and fire tragedy. The five-foot-in-diameter, stone and bronze plaque was packed by livestock to the site - no small feat in itself. The trail continues on to a smaller stone location, marking where some men survived the fire and continues on a steep climb to Clayton Mountain, the site of a Forest Service lookout tower that no longer exists. The vistas from Clayton Mountain are well worth the energy required to climb the last mile of the trail. The vista reveals the huge expanse of the Washakie and North Absaroka Wilderness areas which together total more than a million acres of some of the wildest, untamed country left in the lower 48 states. Fauna that can be encountered along the trail includes mule deer, big horn sheep, elk, a number of bird species and last, but not least, grizzly bear which are commonly seen in the area.

Desc: The Headquarters Trail accesses some of the most unique country of this region. Ponderosa Pine groves, mixed with wildflower meadows and beautifully colored granite rock formations make this easily accessible trail a must for all outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, biking and horseback riding are the most popular activities found along the trail. In winter, portions of the trail are groomed for nordic and skate skiing. Wildlife abounds during the spring, summer and fall. Only 15 minutes from Laramie and 25 miles minutes from Cheyenne, this remarkable oasis is certainly worth stopping for when traveling in southeast Wyoming.
