From Jackson, follow Hwy 89 South approximately 12 miles.  Bear right at Hoback Junction on Hwy 26/87 towards Alpine and continue along the Snake River.  Drive 16 miles past this junction to a small gravel access road on the right, just past the Station Creek sign.  If you see Wolf Cr. campground you’ve gone too far.  Park here, the trail begins at the kiosk right at the end of the primitive road.
