About
US Forest Service campground. The Box Creek Trailhead is located on the Buffalo Valley Road, about 8 miles from Highway 26. This trail is not as well-known as other routes into the Teton Wilderness; however, it is frequently used by ranger patrols and outfitters to reach Enos Lake. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
