Circle Park Trailhead — Attraction in Wyoming

I really enjoyed this hike. I love the outdoors but don't get to do it often. So as a mid 30's, solo, okay shape, female hiker I was a bit nervous. But, Im so glad I did the hike. There are quite a few rocky inclines. But, I feel they are properly balanced out with declines and even parts as well. The first part of the trail before the gate was probably the hardest.

There were put toilet restrooms at the parking lot as well but...

I will say that there was nothing remarkable about the first mile and a half. But who knows, I'm sure there is somewhat of a finale if you go a...

The free dispersed camping has some better views than any of the campsites in the campground. I hiked the lakes loop over 2 day and was wishing I had brought enough food for 3 or 4, each lake was so beautiful, the views were incredible, the hiking was not hard and the fishing was so good! I was using a rod and reel that I had just picked up in Buffalo and caught dozens...
