The network of trails you're entering is very popular with mountain bikers, but it's great for hikers and runners too. It's possible to put together an almost endless combination of trail loops here. The forested trails have lots of wildflowers in season, and occasional openings in the trees where you can enjoy some great vistas.

Mountain biking

Happy Jack is a classic southern Wyoming group of trails. You get a little bit of everything from big climbs and big decent, thick forest, as well as unique rock formations. It's also a great place to ride a fat bike in the winter.
