The Shoshone National Forest encompasses all or parts of five designated wilderness areas and three mountain ranges. These areas are wild and untamed. Day hikers, backpackers, horsepackers, anglers, photographers, and others can enjoy pristine lakes, tumbling waterfalls, slopes awash in wildflowers, glacier-carved valleys, and a plethora of wildlife.
