Valley View is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 1.8 miles in the Greys River Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. The trail rises about 313 feet from a low point of 6,677 feet to a high of 6,986 feet, and it is accessible, with natural surface, and open to both horses and bikes. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 80°F in July and August, with lows in the low 40s, while winter highs stay near 28°F. The station sits about 630 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run a little cooler. The trail is open from May 1 through October 31. The closest neighbors are the 3052 Maple Trail, about 0.6 miles away, and the Vista-Prator and Prater-Murphy hikes, each within about a mile. For an overnight stay, Murphy Creek Campground is about 8.4 miles away.
