Turpin Meadow Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
The Turpin Meadow Trailhead is located on the Buffalo Valley Road, approximately 9 miles from Highway 26 or via Forest Road 30050. This trail is the primary access to the Teton Wilderness and is the starting point for many guided trips into Yellowstone Meadows, Parting of the Waters National Landmark, and Hawks Rest. It also offers nearby fishing opportunities on the designated scenic Buffalo River. There is a high density of Grizzly Bears in this area, it is therefore highly recommended that visitors carry bear spray while hiking or riding. There is also a campground adjacent to the trailhead equipped with corrals, potable water, and a vault restroom.

About this trail's facts
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
