Pearson Creek is an easy out-and-back hike in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the Greys River Ranger District. The trail is about 2.8 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 541 feet, and it rises from a low point of about 6,415 feet to a high of about 6,945 feet. The trail is on natural surface and is open to both horses and bikes, according to Forest Service records. The trailhead is called Pearson Creek Trailhead, and parking is at the Pearson Creek Trailhead site. The trail is typically 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 600 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run a little cooler. Moose Flat Campground is just 0.2 miles away. Blind Bull/Horse Creek, Telephone Pass Trail and White Creek are all within about 3.3 miles.
