About This Trail

Imported description

You can take your ATV to Warren, Idaho and head for the South Fork of the Salmon River. There are bear signs in the campground area. You can see some wildlife when you cross the creek and approach the cemetery. There is a great view from the summit. The old mine access road is an ATV trail after you leave the summit. The scenery is wonderful with many small streams crossing the trail. The intersection of the road to the Mosquito Ridge and the trail heads leads to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. There are several old mining structures that will lead to the wilderness.
