Wet Henderson

Trail Overview

This is a short out-and-back trail from the Wet Henderson Motorized Trailhead in the Targhee National Forest, gaining about 700 feet elevation over 1.5 miles from east to west. The legal trail dead ends in the forest, so it should be ridden as an out-and-back. It has some moderate technical challenges, making it a fun extra detour for more experienced riders. It side-hills along Henderson Creek on an off-camber, but wide, path. There is a muddy creek crossing, followed by a very rooty creek crossing, where you have to go up a root obstacle on both the entrance and exit from the creek. The trail has lots of narrow side-hilling sections where you are pushed up against the trees. It looks like this trail gets used for horseback riding as well, so it's pretty wide in sections, and sections are loose and sloughed off down the hillside, making it more off-camber. Expect to see other trail users.
