The southeast corner of Yellowstone near the mouth of the Thorofare River is the most distant point from a road in the lower 48 states. Half-way through this hike we'll be there!

Yellowstone?s upper Lamar River and its tributaries cut beautiful valleys through the mountains and plateaus of Yellowstone's northeastern backcountry. This is the area of wolf re-introduction in 1995 and a great place for viewing wildlife.

Springtime in the Rockies is a magical season, especially in this land of big valleys and rolling hills beneath the still snow covered Absaroka and Beartooth mountain ranges.

This trip in the mountainous northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful way to experience an absolutely beautiful high mountain and valley area on a very mellow trail with only a couple of modest ups and downs.
