Tepee Creek Trailhead - Jackson
This is a remote trailhead located off of the Gros Ventre Road near Goosewing Guard Station. It is a large grassy area on the edge of lodge pole pine forest that was recently burned. This trailhead provides access to the Teepee Creek Trail #4096, which is a non-motorized trail year round and enters the Wilderness almost immediately. Unlike most other locations, the trail follows a ridge offering scenic views. The trail is used by both hikers and horse riders, primarily for overnight excursions. Two Echo Park is a highlight reached after about 6 miles and offering spectacular views of the wild country in all directions. No facilities located on site, although dispersed camping available nearby. Single kiosk with a map. Four wheel drive is recommended during the spring and fall. Trailhead is large enough for trailer turnaround. No cellular service.
