Remember nesting toys? Well, here we have the same scenario with nature. This national forest in Wyoming is made up of several wildernesses. Here’s a forest-within-a-forest-within-a-forest-within-a-forest in Wyoming that you need to get out and explore.

One thing’s for sure, there’s plenty of territory to explore. Pictured here are hikers near Shoal Creek.
