South Fork of the Salmon River Trail

Trail Overview

The South Fork of the Salmon River trail is the famous "Cliff Trail". It is approximately 8 miles each way as an out and back. The trail has multiple sections on the side of the cliff with extreme exposure to the river. Extreme caution is required when following this trail. There is a registration box at the beginning of the trail that the Forest Service asks each user to fill out before going on the trail. The trail isn't technically difficult and is fairly wide throughout most of it, however, there is high risk if you are afraid of heights or have poor throttle control.
