Salt River Pass

4 Reviews

Salt River Pass, near Afton, Wyoming, is a stunning spot for those seeking a bit of solitude in nature. This area is surrounded by vibrant wildflowers and offers a picturesque view that makes it feel like you're in a fairytale.

The location is known for its privacy, with many visitors enjoying the peacefulness of being away from the hustle and bustle. One camper mentioned, “We were the only 2 people probably in at least a mile radius,” highlighting the seclusion you can find here. Just keep in mind that the access road can be rough, so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended to navigate the terrain.

While there are no amenities like drinking water or electric hookups, the natural beauty more than makes up for it. Campers have raved about the incredible views and the unique experience of sharing the space with friendly sheep. As one reviewer put it, “Amazing views here,” which really captures the essence of this location.

If you're up for a little adventure, Salt River Pass is a great stop between major destinations like Zion and Teton. Just be prepared for a bit of a drive to get there, and you might want to bring your own supplies since there are no markets nearby. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore, this spot offers a refreshing escape into the wild.

Pretty

It’s a pretty spot, but we were unfortunately unable to stay here because a couple was already there and they asked us to leave because they wanted the spot to themselves - which we understood.

They also blocked the road that goes pass the site with their truck so we weren’t able to drive any further to see if there was anywhere else in the area, but upon looking at satellite view of the coordinates, the road seems to go on a bit further so if you have the chance to drive through there may be more potential sites.

The road is a bit rough and you definitely need a high clearance vehicle to drive through.

Tons of wildflowers and trees everywhere. A very private spot right off the highway.

We ended up staying at Allred Flat campground just a mile or so up there road. It’s $10 a night - $5 if you have a pass - and in my opinion was even prettier than this site.

Need high clearance

This site is incredible. It’s gorgeous however in my equinox I had to drive half on the edge of the road because the dirt road into the area where other tires go was so deep. There is no cell service at all ATT wise, my onstar WiFi wouldn’t even connect. It’s just one big open field.

This place is awesome

My boyfriend & I were the only 2 people probably in at least a mile radius. Complete privacy in a giant field of flowers that make the air smell absolutely amazing. There are sheep everywhere and they love to talk (my boyfriend was a little annoyed when they woke him up in the morning but I thought it was cool). Amazing views here. Overall just a fairytale spot. We stopped here between our drive from Zion to Teton. Would love to go back to this spot! Rough road but doable in my 2WD 1999 4 runner

Incredible Views and TOTAL Privacy

As I was driving over Salt River Pass I noticed a small dirt road on the side of the highway. Upon checking Google Maps Satellite View, I could see that the road ended in a campsite, so I decided to scout it. The road is HEAVILY rutted, and would be impassible for a regular car, but it was easy to pass in my Sprinter Van. The campsite is STUNNING, in a field of wildflowers, RIGHT near the highway, but totally isolated and private.
