Getting There
Directions
This trail can be accessed from the Phillips Trailhead. To access from the Phillips Trailhead, head out to Wilson on WY 22 and head up the pass. A few miles up you will see a sign on your right for Phillips Canyon and a small dirt road. Park either here below the kiosk or across the highway in the larger parking area. The Ski Lake Trail starts just up the road past the kiosk on your left. Follow the Phillips Pass Trail up into the large open meadow where you’ll cross a small bridge. The junction for Ski Lake is just past the bridge on the edge of the meadow.
