Hike to Goodwin Lake
This trail is moderately rated and is primarily used for hiking, walking, and exploring. The beginning of the trail is rather steep. Stretches of elevation gain can be quite challenging, but the views are well worth the exertion and the trail does level off after the initial incline. There are some shaded portions of the trail that offer relief from the sun, but be sure to bring an adequate amo...

The cottonwood trees ...
Camp at the Wedding Tree
This is a great spot to camp if the park campgrounds are full (particularly in the summertime). There is a designated camping area at Gros Ventre Campground, but if you're a little too late on the reservations or, like me, would prefer to get away from the crowds, head out into the National Forest, where it's first come, first served.The parking lot is located off of Gros Ventre Road, past the ...
