Middle Fork Salmon River
I only hiked a few miles of this one, but it was interesting to say the least. It is disappointing to note how much of Idaho has gone up in flames.


We're going around this cliff, instead of through it!



The view from on high, as they say


What a beautiful pool


One of the local residents! Senor Pica

More carving. What a job building this one


The trail is on the right, another cliff-carved masterpiece

The haze from the Banner Ridge fire is visible

Beautiful river...

Huh? So where did this come from?

In the burn area down near Falls Creek. River's pretty, the landscape?



Quite a trail. Not like any other trail I've experienced... except... the South Kaibab trail in the Grand Canyon!

What is called the Big Hole on the maps. It is! And it is right after Bear Valley Creek and Marsh Creek come together to make the Middle Fork of the Salmon.
