Upper Dry Creek is a 3.9-mile out-and-back hike in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness, part of the Washakie Ranger District of Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. The trail is managed by the Forest Service, and the route gains about 331 feet in elevation over its length, from a low of about 9,900 feet to a high of about 10,200 feet. The trail surface is natural and bikes are not allowed. The climb is rated hard, so plan for a steady effort on this route. The trail lies entirely within designated wilderness, which makes it a straightforward choice for a day on foot rather than a vehicle trip. Nearby, Ink Wells is about 3.4 miles away and Glacier Trail about 4 miles. Dry Creek is about 4.5 miles out. Climbers can find the Dinwoody Glacier Area about 6.9 miles away.
