Elk Creek is a hard hike in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the Greys River Ranger District. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 7,044 feet to 10,357 feet, a total gain of 2,553 feet over a route of about 21 miles. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open from May 1 through October 31. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes. That makes it a versatile route for riders and pack animals, and the climb is long enough to plan around. Forest Park Campground sits about a mile away, and Buck Creek and Lake Barstow Trail are both within 3 miles. Meadows Cabin is about 6.7 miles off.
