Trail Creek Trailhead - Jackson

This front country trailhead is located just outside of Wilson, Wyoming at the base of Teton Pass, off of Highway 22 on the Trail Creek Road across from the Heidelberg. It is a paved parking area nestled in a beautiful pine, spruce and fir forest and is a great place to go to escape the summer heat. This is the main access to the Old Pass Road, which was the historical route into Jackson Hole, and is now a non-motorized, multi-use paved route that climbs all the way up the Pass. It also accesses the History Trail #4004D, which follows the old historic wagon route and is now a designated horse/hike only trail. Other trails including the multi-use Black Canyon Trail #4004, and the horse/hike only Big Rocks Trail #4004A. Several downhill mountain bike trails also finish here including the Parallel Trail #4004E and the Lithium Trail #4004B. No facilities exist on site. Two kiosks with maps. Cellular service is available. Trailhead has small loop and can accommodate trailers.
