Moffat Creek is a 4.7-mile out-and-back hike in the Greys River Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from a low point of 6,711 feet to a high of 7,623 feet, a climb of 914 feet one way, and is rated moderate. The route is on natural surface, and both horses and bikes are allowed. The trail is open from May 1 through October 31. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Bedford, about 10 miles away, show July highs around 80°F with lows near 43°F and only about six wet days. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run cooler. Meadows Cabin, a campground, is about a mile away, and the Black Canyon-Blind Bull and Cabin Creek Peak hikes are each within about a mile and a quarter. Forest Park Campground is about 4.6 miles off.
