Directions
Starting from the Town of Jackson, follow Highway 89 South approximately 12 miles. Bear right at Hoback Junction and continue along the Snake River. Once past the road junction for Fall Creek Road and Cottonwood Work Center on the right, you will see a National Forest sign on the right. Immediately past this sign is a small dirt road leading off to the right. The road veers to the left and crosses a small bridge but this road is in terrible condition due to Dog Creek washing it out every spring, therefore it is best to park before the bridge where the road forks.
Approximate travel details from Jackson, Wyoming: 18 miles. Driving time from Jackson is approximately 30 minutes.
