Hike Tongue River Canyon
Starting at the Tongue Canyon Campground, the trail meanders next to the river as the canyon walls get deeper and deeper. There are some pretty incredible limestone walls here, and the views along the canyon are excellent.
Eventually you'll start to climb a bit more, away from the river and up into the Bighorns. You'll reach a great meadow, where many choose to enjoy the view. The view from her...

Hike Soldier Ridge Trail
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!
Ski Moonlight Peak
The Bighorns have a whole lot to offer in any season.

Summit Blacktooth Mountain
To get to the Little Goose Trailhead make sure you have a vehicle capable of traveling over very rough terrain and big rocks and cross 3 creeks, one of which is about 50 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Four-wheel drive would be strongly recommended. From the Little Goose Trailhead you will need to hike to Highland Lake which is about 7 miles or so. On the way you will come across Highland Park and...
Robin Lake via Solitude Loop Trail
Starting at Coffeen Park, head south on the Solitude Trail. This trail will wind through the woods for several miles, passing Lake Geneva, and then Solitude Lake. After a glimpse of Solitude (it's a bit off the trail to the west), you'll start the climb up to Geneva Pass. After Geneva Lake, the elevation comes quickly, and in a relatively short distance. Push through it and you'll be at the pas...
