MIDDLE FORK OF THE SALMON RIVER
View of the Middle Fork Salmon River from Sun Flower Hot-Springs
This traditional Hughes Trip is a favorite. Whitewater, hot-springs & amazing hikes. Highlights include historical settlements, Native American Archaeological sites including pictographs, house pits, hunting blinds, and more! Long abandoned cabins and ranches, plus the tales of Earl Perrot the hermit of of the Impassible Canyon. Spring green up, amazing canyon views, wildlife and hot-springs make this trip a must!
Amazing view from Johnson Point. Highest view overlook near the river, and a premier hiking destination. The hike and view are worth it!

One of the most stunning off-river hiking trails is the Big Creek trail. This takes you up the largest tributary to the Middle Fork Salmon River.
A nice short but steep hike up to the Shark Fin Pictographs. Some of the best pictographs in the corridor.
One of the last functioning ranches in the corridor, the Flying-B Ranch is a great stop and a fun place to hike to or from camp along the river corridor trail.
Hospital Bar Hot Springs is a midday riverside stop for a quick warm up.
