Natural Features and SceneryThe campground sits in a gulch that provides natural shelter and shade, with large, well-spaced sites. Elk, mule deer, and raptors are commonly seen at dawn and dusk. The South Pass area delivers the kind of open Wyoming terrain where views stretch wide and the night sky goes dark. This is bear country, so proper food storage matters.
