Bridger National Forest

Bridger National Forest spans nearly 89,000 acres in Wyoming and offers the mix of recreation typical of USFS-managed lands: hiking and backpacking trails, dispersed camping, fishing in streams and lakes, and access for hunting during season. The forest provides scenic driving routes through varied terrain and is open year-round, though winter snow and weather significantly limit high-elevation travel and backcountry access from late fall through early spring. Summer and early fall are the primary seasons when trails are snow-free and camping is most practical. The forest welcomes horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and photography throughout accessible months. Access is straightforward from nearby towns, and dispersed camping allows flexible trip planning across the forest.
