Description
Added by Daniel Martinez
This is a relatively easy hike that can take up to a day to complete. Approximately 13 miles of hiking from the Elkhart Park Trailhead on the Pole Creek Trail in the Bridger Wilderness brings you to an amazing area with stunning views and access to great fishing and climbing.
Begin at the Elkhart Park Trailhead of the Bridger-Teton National Forest near Pinedale, Wyoming. From here it is approximately 13-14 miles to Island Lake along the Pole Creek Trail, a very popular camping spot in the Bridger Wilderness. There are many lakes on the way to get water from, and the first 6 or so miles are fairly gentle and flat, but can get boring. Make a stop at Photographer's Point on the way if possible or Sacred Rim to get a great view. There are great camping spots on the South end of Island Lake along the hills and by Mistake Lake in Titcomb Basin. Make sure to fish in Island Lake, near the waterfall or the outlet are good spots.
