Upper Bechler Canyon Ford

Upper Bechler Canyon Ford is a designated backcountry campsite in Yellowstone National Park with a maximum capacity of 12 people that requires advance reservations and a fee.

The site is accessed via a challenging ford of the Bechler River—a cold, deep crossing that can reach mid-thigh depth with a silted riverbed—making trekking poles essential for safe passage.

This campsite serves as a key waypoint for backpackers exploring Bechler Canyon's renowned waterfalls, thermal features, and remote wilderness terrain.
