Located just outside of Moran, in the northeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, this easy, dead-end gravel road leads to the Pacific Campground and hiking trailhead, on the edge of the Teton Wilderness. It is known as both Wilderness Road by the park service, or Pacific Creek by the Forst Service. The road is two-vehicles wide the entire way and suitable for any vehicle, but anticipate significant washboard along the drive. Airing down will greatly ease in comfort.

The road passes 8 designated campsites, all offering significant space and suitable for any campsites or group size. Pacific Campground offers an additional 8, first-come first-serve sites for a nightly fee. The end of the road is a popular place for equestrian riders entering the wilderness, as evident by the many trailers and hitching posts in the trailhead parking lot.
