Description
On this self-guided trail, human and natural history blend together in the forest and meadows of Longmire. Starting across the road from the National Park Inn, 'Trail of the Shadows' is less than a mile long and takes about 30 minutes to complete. The trail explores mineral hot springs that were discovered by James Longmire, an early settler in the region. Longmire was drawn by these soda springs and filed a mineral claim. You'll also see an early homestead cabin built in 1888 and discover the plants and animals that call this area their home.
A great hike for families, the trailhead is located across the road from the National Park Inn at Longmire.
Hikeable two-thirds of the year.
