Looking for breathtaking views far from the National Parks crowds? Take a breezy hike up to Bonneville Pass in the DuNoir region and you’ll find yourself falling in love with wild Wyoming scenery.

The DuNoir Trail up to Bonneville Pass is one of the most beautiful hikes you can take in Wyoming.

This out-and-back hike is just over five miles and it's tucked away in the Dunoir Management Area, a wilderness within Shoshone National Forest.
The hike is best known for its wildflowers and breathtaking views.

Once the snow melts and the flowers begin to bloom, it turns into a paradise! Wildflowers peak mid-summer, but the trail is gorgeous from June through September.
You'll be treated to up-close views of the Wind River Range along the way.

Unlike many hikes in the Winds, you'll have less than 900 feet of elevation gain, making this a fairly easy hike for most people who are in moderate shape. Due to the length and some steep parts, it's not the easiest hike in the state, but it shouldn't take you more than 2.5 or 3 hours, excluding time to stop for lunch.
