Trail Map

Find the Shoshone ADA Trail on the trail map at the end of Snake Creek Road. Snake Creek road's entrance is located east of the park, at about the halfway point of the park's vertical length.

Ranger Tip: Watch the small drops in the creek for chances to see Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, an endemic species once thought to be locally extinct.
