Backpackers heading into the northern Wind River Range will find free, hike-in dispersed camping at Palmer Canyon, set within Bridger National Forest. The canyon features waterfalls and walls of Precambrian granite visible along the route. The trail crosses the stream repeatedly, so water crossings are a real planning factor. Early-season water levels can make the route difficult to pass, and late summer tends to offer the most manageable conditions. Bug spray is worth packing. If the hike-in access and free camping suit your trip, Palmer Canyon is worth the approach.
