Manning Creek is a hard hike in Idaho's Caribou-Targhee National Forest, within the Montpelier Ranger District. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 7,018 feet to about 8,633 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,518 feet over a route of about 6.2 miles. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open year-round. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. That makes it a flexible option for a longer trip on foot or on horseback. Several other routes sit close by. S. Fk. Sage Creek is about 0.7 miles away and N. Fk. Deer Creek about a mile. Pinnacle Peak is roughly 2.4 miles off, and Clear Creek Guard Station offers camping about 6.1 miles away.
