Overall Basin is a hard hike of about 6.4 miles in an out-and-back route on the Palisades Ranger District of Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Wyoming. The trail rises about 1,400 feet, from a low point of 7,935 feet to a high of 9,351 feet. The Forest Service manages the land. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes. That makes it a practical route for riding or packing a saddle along with the pack. The Overall Basin Trail lies about half a mile away, and Garden Ridge and Garden Canyon are within about two miles. Big Elk Campground & Group Area, across the line in Idaho, is about 6.8 miles off and offers a base for an overnight stay.
