Hiking in Wyoming is an experience like no other. But if you prefer to bring your family along, the options get a bit more limited. Luckily, the Cowboy State has plenty of family-friendly trails, including a few that lead to views so spectacular, you’ll forget you’re even exercising. The Mouth of the Canyon Trail is an example of one such adventure.

The Mouth of the Canyon Trail is located at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a beautiful place that borders Montana.
