Sheep Creek Spur

Sheep Creek Spur is a short, dead-end spur off Curtis Canyon and Sheep Creek Road that leads to three designated campsites and the boundary of the Gros Ventre Wilderness. The road begins easily enough, with the first few hundred yards offering relatively smoother terrain up to the campsites. Each site provides excellent views of the surrounding hills and makes for a quiet, scenic overnight stop.

Beyond the campsites, the road narrows into a rough, rocky single-lane shelf section with no room for passing. This portion is challenging, with uneven terrain and steep drop-offs to one side, and should only be attempted by high-clearance vehicles with confident drivers who have previous shelf road experience. The spur ends at a small turnaround near the wilderness boundary. While views remain partially visible along the shelf road, the best scenery is found near the campsites.

Important Camping Notes:

• Camping in this area is restricted to designated sites only.
• A 5-day maximum stay limit is in effect from May 1st through Labor Day, and a 14-day limit the rest of the year.
• Bears are common in the area; thus, all food and attractants must be stored in bear-resistant containers or hard-sided vehicles.
• Some campsites offer on-site bear boxes, but not all campsites do.
