North Fork Fall Creek is a 5.8-mile out-and-back hike in the Jackson Ranger District of Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest. The trail starts at the North Fork Fall Creek Trailhead and reaches a high point of 7,756 feet, about 870 feet above the low point of 6,882 feet. It is a moderate route that works for hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers, and the trail surface is natural. The most comfortable months for the trip are July and August, when typical highs at the nearby Jackson weather station run in the upper 70s and snow days drop to zero. That station sits roughly 1,500 feet below the trail, so expect cooler temperatures on the higher stretches. The trail is open from about May 1 to October 31. Nearby options include the North Fork Cutoff, just 0.6 miles away, and South Fork Fall Creek, about 2 miles off. Big Elk Creek Trail and Gear Down are both within about 3 miles.
