Bridger-Teton National Forest Travel Tips

  • With the impressive peaks of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks looming as silent sentinels on the horizon, Bridger-Teton presents its visitors with a wide array of exciting possibilities, from the churning white rapids of the Snake River to shimmering snow-covered summits reaching to 13,785 feet above sea level—and a plethora of adventures in between.
  • Wildlife in Bridger-Teton not only includes the grizzly bear, bison, wolverine, elk, antelope, deer, bighorn sheep, and North American lynx, but it features an astonishing 355 species of birds.
  • See the aftermath of the highest-altitude tornado ever recorded along the Box Creek-Clear Creek Loop. Find the trailhead 3.5 miles east of Moran Junction along Buffalo Valley Road. The 18-mile loop takes your party onto several ridges to glimpse acres of uprooted trees and debris left by the 1987 Teton Tornado.
  • Many trails in the Salt River Range along Greys River Road east of Star Valley are open to ATVs, making the area a popular motorized playground. Explore a forested network of old logging roads along the Way Trail, a 50-mile path along Greys River between Murphy and Poison Creeks, with multiple access points.
  • Horseback riders can explore the gravelly cliffs at McDougal Pass on a long and stunning high-country loop in the Salt River Range. Begin at the end of Strawberry Creek Road off of Highway 89, and then trace a 20-mile loop along the Strawberry Creek, Cabin Creek Peak, and Covey Cutoff trails.
