Added by Kyle Frost

Just 5 minutes from downtown Sheridan, Soldier Ridge is a great spot for a short hike and views of Sheridan & the Bighorn Mountains

This 4-mile (one-way) trail is a great spot just outside of town. The trail rolls gently with the hills and the views of the Bighorns and town are spectacular. I'd highly recommend stopping by for sunrise or sunset for some incredible light.

It's great for a quick walk, run, or even mountain bike -- and there's plans to continue adding to this trail system!
