The South Plateau Trail follows the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park, offering year-round opportunities for adventure and spectacular scenery. In winter, it is one of the area’s premier snowmobile routes, featuring open powder fields, winding sections along creeks and rivers, and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and Targhee National Forest. Popular as an out-and-back ride or as part of a larger loop connecting to the Two Top and Idaho trail systems, it provides a scenic escape from the crowds.

During the summer months, the South Plateau transforms into a rugged backcountry destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Nearby trails traverse volcanic plateaus, forests, and alpine meadows, offering visitors panoramic views and a true wilderness experience within the Greater Yellowstone area.
