AYM Backpack: Badger Creek Traverse

Activity Notes

Ready to test backpacking gear for summer? Join us on an overnight trek into Badger Creek Wilderness. We'll begin in grasslands at Ball Point trailhead (trail #468), gradually ascending to a primitive campsite. 

The next day we'll return along Little Badger Creek. From here, we'll return to the trailhead overland or by shuttle. As a gradual trek with water sources, this trail is more suitable for newer backpackers while still offering a challenge.

If new to AYM trips, please review our hiking rules. For new backpackers, please consult this checklist to ensure you have adequate gear.

182 miles round-trip driving. 8.3 miles, 1650'.
