When you just want to get away from it all, you can’t do much better than the spectacular Wyoming wilderness. With numerous state parks, national forests, and more rivers and lakes than you can shake a stick at, you can take your pick of isolated places to escape to.

In fact, the most remote spot in Wyoming also happens to be one of the most remote in the whole country. The Thorofare region, in the southeast corner of Yellowstone National Park, is the single area in the continental U.S. that is furthest from roads. It’s the perfect spot for going off the grid for a few days and it happens to be breathtaking.

Covering over 2600 square miles right where the southeast tip of Yellowstone National Park meets the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Shoshone National Forest, Thorofare offers stunning views in every direction.
