This Hike To Nowhere In Wyoming Will Take You Away From It All

Have you ever wondered what nowhere looks like? Well, you’re about to find out. Nowhere just so happens to be the most remote spot in the Lower 48. Not only will this hike take you away from it all but it will also take you as far away as you can possibly get within the Wyoming border. Welcome to Destination Nowhere.

YouTube/Roman Dial Nowhere is a valley in the most remote region in the Teton Wilderness right off the southeastern corner of Yellowstone National Park. This valley is known as the Thorofare.

YouTube/zepenn This area is located along Two Ocean Plateau with the Upper Yellowstone River cutting through it.

YouTube/zepenn The Thorofare runs from Yellowstone Lake into the Teton Wilderness.

YouTube/Roman Dial This is a wide and easy-to-hike route that meanders through the Absarokas. The trail runs along the upper Yellowstone River.

YouTube/Roman Dial There are several approaches to the Thorofare which is about 70 miles from Cody. This region is about forty miles southwest from South Fork Road through the Deer Creek Trail.

YouTube/zepenn You can also access the area via the Thorofare Trail which is 30 miles south of Highway 14-20 as the road runs into Yellowstone Lake from the east.

YouTube/Roman Dial This remote region is a haven for hunters and backpackers. There’s also an abundance of wildlife such as wolves, moose, elk and grizzlies. Grizzlies are in abundance especially during the fall with the remains of elk left behind by the hunters.

YouTube/zepenn Native Americans called this area “The Passing of Great Herds”. This is still a passageway for large animals such as elk, moose and grizzlies.

YouTube/zepenn There are several structures in this region. The Wyoming Department of Game and Fish cabin sits along Thorofare Creek where it flows into the upper Yellowstone River. The National Park Service has a ranger station and the U.S. Forest Service maintains the Hawk’s Rest Patrol Cabin.

YouTube/zepenn This area is surrounded by some of the most stunning mountainous terrain in the country.

YouTube/zepenn The very center of the Thorofare is 30 miles from a road in all directions.

YouTube/zepenn This area is still just as wild and remote as it was when it was first traveled by Native Americans and fur trappers.
