Route description (going counterclockwise). To start the route, (from Buck Creek Trailhead), hike back along the road, and then up to the Phelps Creek Trailhead on the 3 mile gravel road. The Phelps Creek Trail leads 5.3 miles through a pleasant forest with frequent fords, to the edge of Spider meadows. Beyond Spider Meadows is a steep and hot climb to Larch Knob. Spider Meadows, Cloudy Pass and Buck Creek Pass all have absolutely gorgeous wildflower displays, Cloudy Pass having some of the best wildflower meadows I’ve ever seen in my life.

Norman Islands-Pirates Bight start flip flop

This route starts at the Pirate’s Bight sign on Norman Islands.  Head out of the restaurant area and up the road, when the road spilts go straight up the mountain. If you go right it is a mistake. I did that the first time and it was a bust. I went back to the Pirate’s Bight sign and started over. So go up the hill, at the top go left and follow the double track around the island to Money Bay, there is another spilt stay right and at the beach, as you come down from the ridge you will see a decorated tree, it has shoes and shells on it. Touch it.

The Belly Button

This cute little fella is a 50 mile ridge line loop in the Gros Ventres wilderness. With two potential starting points you can choose where you want to start and which direction you would want to travel. Beginning and ending at Granite hot springs has the distinct advantage of more places to park your vehicle, camp, and soak in the hot springs if you so desire. Starting at Flat Creek Ranch is more limited in parking, more rustic, but slightly closer to Jackson Hole.
