Grouse Creek (FSR 205)

Are the wide open spaces calling to you? This fantastic area in the Big Horn Mountains, west of Sheridan, Wyoming, has wide open spaces! Grouse Creek Trail takes you south from Hunt Mountain Road to an overlook of the Big Horn Basin. This area has some 50" trails, but many are wide enough for a full-size 4x4. There are some hills to climb, but nothing is complicated. You are in the open in some places, but in some parts of the trail, you move through the pine trees. The trail is primarily dirt, but there are some rocky areas. The scenery is fantastic. There is some dead time at the overlook pointer, but the forest here is generally very healthy. This trail does pass a previous burn area that is starting its recovery.
