Hi Scott and crew!! All details are still TBD, but I wanted to get an event ready on our website. This is a self-supported backpacking trip working on the South Fork Salmon River Trail from Hettinger Ranch to Mackey Bar. Details TBD. This unique access to the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness promises to be a truly monumental experience.

Difficulty Rating
You should have experience with backpacking and be in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear. This is a remote backcountry project so injuries such as sprains and blisters or even extreme fatigue from not being properly conditioned can quickly become a big safety issue. If you are unsure about the proper gear or about preparing for a trip, please reach out to trails@idahotrailsassociation.org.
