Killer views

I've stayed here three times and almost always because I'm cutting a day short and I know this place is nice. Threaded with dirt roads and my little private ptions for a camp. I always head to the top of the hill. Views of the three Tetons, Palisades, and Baldy plus sunsets and sunrises. There are two fir rings I know if, by but I haven't explored everywhere.

Can here off road use sometimes in the distance, and the highway mildly during the day, but I never noticed it at night. can be windy as the top is exposed, but it's always died down at night for me.

Stayed in late July, early October, and late June. The June stay I ran into a shepherd that walks his flock of 2000+ sheep on his way seasonally to the Palisades. Harmless, friendly guy, we mostly kept to ourselves besides the introduction. Seeing the sheep was actually cool, and they came and went without incident.

I'll stay probably everytime I come through this way.

Great views!

When you pull off into the gravel lot take the road in the left corner up to the top. There are a few pull outs along the way or a lot of space at the top. There are a few premade fire pits. There are a few other campers here but we’re spaced out enough. It’s quiet besides a few dirt bikes coming through.

Beautiful Views Bumpy Roads

If you google Pine Creek Pass, that will show you how to get there. There’s a pull off from the hwy that I’ve seen people camp at the base. To get into the dispersed camping you’ll see the driveway in the corner. Take that. It will take you to a long, narrow bumpy road. Beep the horn around corners as some of the road is on a cliff. I’ve seen atv and horses on the road as well. Along the road you’ll find spots to park and camp. I only remember a handful of spots for a camper van.
