Owen Creek Campground is the smallest one that we'll visit on this trip in
Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest. It is also the closest campground to
the Shell Falls Interpretive Site, which is a short 16-mile drive down Highway 14.
Shell Falls can be viewed from a sidewalk at
the parking lot if you'd rather not take the stairs for a closer look.
The Shell Falls Interpretive Trail is a paved one-third-mile loop
with views of distant waterfalls beneath several buttes.
Up to 3,600 gallons of water per second drop from Shell Falls,
slowly carving this narrow canyon over millions of years.
Shell Falls is one of the more impressive waterfalls that we have seen. I highly
recommend visiting if you are camping at any of the campgrounds we have toured in this series.

Pretty small campground. We're about a quarter-mile off of U.S Highway 14,
just west of the uh. Not too many miles west of the junction with 14a
Alright, I like site seven the best. Got the creek right there.
Not too much shade though. Yeah, it's a pretty short one.
Some of these I don't know where you could put a tent.
Yeah, it would have to be a small one. We're looking at site six on the right.
