Area 87 covers the lower Greys River drainage between Alpine and the upper Greys—a long, narrow timbered valley running between the Salt River Range to the west and the Wyoming Range to the east. Elevations run from about 6,000 feet at Alpine on the Snake River to over 9,500 feet on the surrounding crests. The Greys River itself winds through a forested valley with willow-and-alder bottoms, broad meadows, and dense timbered slopes climbing on both sides—lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, aspen, and subalpine fir. The country gets wet—Pacific moisture funnels through here—and the willow-bottom country is some of the best moose habitat in Wyoming. Major drainages off the main river include Cottonwood, Murphy, and Strawberry Creeks. Bridger-Teton National Forest dominates with private inholdings scattered through. The Greys River Road from Alpine is the primary access—a long graded gravel road running 60+ miles up the valley. Alpine has gas, a small grocery, and the Three Rivers Resort; Jackson is the larger hub to the north. Cell service drops past Alpine. Quality elk in the timber and meadow margins, moose in the willow bottoms (one of Wyoming's better moose units), mule deer in the aspens, and grizzly bear country. The Greys River Road is a destination drive in fall when the aspens turn—the gold contrasts with the dark conifer in a way that puts photographers on every pullout.
