I'm planning a 13 day solo backpacking trip in the Teton & Washakie Wilderness Areas in late July. I'd like to include the Silvertip Creek Trail and the North Fork of Butte Creek Trails in my route. However, it is difficult to find any current information on them. The Silvertip Creek Trail connects upper Open Creek with upper Pass Creek. The North Fork of Butte Creek Trail connects upper Pass Creek with the upper end of the Thorofare Creek Trail. Does anyone have first-hand, or even second-hand, information on the current state of those trails? They are described in the Ralph Maughan guidebook, but that was written in 1981. I assume that they aren't maintained, except possibly by outfitters. I'm reluctant to commit to including them in my route because I'm afraid that I'll find out that they no longer really exist, or are no longer passable.
