Siddoway Fork Creek is a mountain biking route in Wyoming's Caribou-Targhee National Forest, within the Palisades Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route rises from about 6,278 feet to about 8,210 feet over roughly 4.8 miles, with a total elevation gain of 1,970 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bondurant, which sits about 1,500 feet lower, show July and August highs around 80°F with lows near 40°F. That station's figures are not adjusted for the higher elevation of the route. Several other outings lie close by. Cabin Creek is about 0.6 miles away and Austin Canyon about 1.2 miles. Green Knoll Hunter is about 1.7 miles off. For an overnight stay, Big Elk Campground & Group Area is about 5.3 miles away.
