White Creek is a hard, 19.9-mile out-and-back hike in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the Greys River Ranger District. The trail starts at the White Creek Trailhead and climbs from a low point of 6,482 feet to a high of 9,321 feet, gaining about 2,427 feet one way. The route is on natural surface and allows both horses and bikes. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. At a nearby weather station in Darwin, July and August typically reach highs around 72°F, with lows in the mid-30s. That station sits about 1,100 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The open season runs from May 1 to October 31. Moose Flat Campground, about 3 miles away, is the closest place to camp. Pearson Creek and Stump Lake-Stewart are nearby hikes, and the Little Greys River offers canoeing about 8 miles off.
