Granite Creek Trailhead is located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, featuring rugged terrain with dense forests and mountain views. Temperatures range from lows in the 30s Fahrenheit in spring and fall to highs in the 80s during summer. Nearby attractions include Granite Hot Springs and the scenic Granite Creek Falls, offering opportunities for relaxation and exploration.

This is a remote trailhead located in the Granite Creek drainage south of Jackson. The trailhead is a large gravel parking area in thick pine and spruce forest near the creek and the developed Granite Hot Springs, which receives high use in the summer months. A lower trailhead also exists near Granite Falls, a stunning waterfall which has a small natural hot spring. The Granite Cr Road is gravel and in good condition and does not necessarily require four wheel drive, although it is recommended when wet or in the spring and fall. This is the main access to the Granite Cr Trail #4018, a non-motorized trail which enters the Gros Ventre Wilderness and leads visitors through stunning wildflower meadows surrounded by high mountain peaks and eventually up to Turquoise Lake. No facilities are located at the trailhead itself but picnic areas and bathrooms are available at the hot springs. Single kiosk with a map. No cellular service available. Trailhead is large enough for trailer turnaround. Driving time from Jackson is approximately 1 hour.

We stayed for free along Granite Creek near hot springs. It was late when we stayed so we might have missed the turn. I remember the dog sledding house and we kept going down the road for 5 minutes. Supposed to be dispersed along creek. 

Stayed at Trailhead

It was a little rough getting back there in my old van, bumpy. We stayed in the paid area with my pass only $10.  Walk to the waterfalls.  Campground was quite and so dark by 9pm. Lots of open dispersed camping available.
