Skull Creek is a hard, out-and-back hike of about 13 miles in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the Greys River Ranger District. The route rises from a low point of about 5,776 feet to a high of about 7,138 feet, with an elevation gain of roughly 790 feet one way. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. July and August typically bring highs around 80°F and lows in the low 40s, based on averages from a nearby weather station. The station sits roughly 800 feet below the trail, so temperatures up high run cooler. The trail is open from May 1 to October 31, and the parking is at the Trail Creek Trailhead. Bikes and horses are both allowed, and the surface is natural. Several other routes start close by. The Little Greys River Snomo Trail is about half a mile away, and the Trail Creek and Middle Ridge hikes are within a mile. Wolf Creek Campground, about 3.5 miles off, is the closest place to camp.
