At the crossing of Sharktooth creek the two trails meet: Fish Creek trail runs upstream along Sharktooth creek and turns north here, while Minnow Creek trail climbs in switchbacks south to cross over into Minnow Creek valley. A few steps east are good backcountry camp sites next to several hot springs scattered over the hillside, together named Iva Bell.
