There are no fees. There is a small visitors center just before the trailhead parking area and a campground further down the road.
There is a pit toilet at the parking lot / trailhead

Very rocky, uneven trail.

The trail begins from Trails End Campground, where parking and bathroom facilities are available.

It's an early and unmarked turnoff from Pole Creek Trail onto Sacred Rim Trail, which can be easy to miss, so keep an eye on the map. The trail is well-shaded through the woods of the Bridger Wilderness. The views from Sacred Rim Overlook are absolutely incredible.
