  1. 5.0 Tower Trail (361 reviews)
    - Paved Trail
    Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas
    Tower Trail image
    Tower Trail is the trail you’ll want to do to get as close as possible to Devils Tower. it is a loop around Devils Tower. this loop is the most popular thing to do in the park. This trail is pretty easy and gives you some great views of the tower. If you want to truly be quick and not hike the whole 1.3-mile paved trail, then you will want to start off the loop going LEFT when you are starting from the visitor center. (There is a spot once you start the trail where there are seemingly 2 ways to go, straight and to the left.) Then soon you will see the massive Devil's Tower in front of you. but I would recommend doing the whole tower trail (just 1.3 miles) it will give you different angles of Devils Tower. it is the only trail that is paved. However, do remember that climbing on the rocks isn’t allowed without a permit so stay off of the boulders. See more..

    - Crowds less likely here

    Jenny Lake Overlook image
    Best iconic view of the Tetons. The boat shuttle at the southern end of the lake is crazy crowded. Instead go to the NE corner of the one way Jenny Lake road. Less crowded and definitely worth waiting a few minutes for a parking spot. See more..
  3. 4.5 Jackson Lake Overlook (45 reviews)
    - Working at conquering the power of water.
    Spent < 1 hour Bodies of Water • Scenic Walking Areas
    Jackson Lake Overlook image
    You may ask yourself why a dam here??? The purpose of the dam is to provide water from the snake river for water storage for irrigation in the Snake River basin to the state of Idaho. Jackson Lake is a natural lake whose levels are raised an extra 39 feet due to the dam. You can walk across the dam and see how the construction of the dam was done. Below the dam you can also see the fisherman trying the luck of the fishing pole and the people floating the river for pleasure. Take some time and walk around on the short trails to enjoy this dam.

  5. 5.0 Green River Lakes (6 reviews)
    - Very pretty
    Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas
    Green River Lakes image
    Green River Lakes is about 90 minutes from Pinedale. You will drive beside the Green River pretty much the whole was. The last 35 minutes will be on a dirt road that can be rough. The drive to the lakes is nice but not spectacular. But the scenery at the lakes is amazing. This is my second time there. The first time we had great blue sky's and could see forever. It was very memorable. This time the smoke limited what we could see but it was still worth it. See more..

    Squaretop Mountain image
    This monolith looming above the Green River Lakes not far from Pinedale is utterly breathtaking. Sometimes mistaken for Devils Tower, it’s actually much larger and of different geology. Currently it is on the Wyoming license plate. If you backpack the Wind River Highline Trail you’ll pass immediately beneath this incredible peak. I hope you find it. See more..

    SPLIT ROCK HISTORIC SITE, GREAT STOP FOR PICNIC AND FOR KIDS TO RUN AROUND ON THE ROCKS! One and half hours from Rawlins or Riverton/Lander is the Split Rock Historic Site, a important landmark on the Oregon, California, Mormon trail! If you are traveling with 4-16 year old kids, and they are getting crazy in the car, this is a great place for them to run around, climbing rocks for 30-45 minutes. Stop and have lunch at the picnic tables! No water! There are outhouses, picnic tables, and garbage cans. See more..
