Trails of the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness

The Salmon River and its tributaries have carved the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness into a maze of deep canyons and isolated peaks. From any high point a gigantic relief map of ridges extends to distant blue crags. The crags and ridges hike cobalt blue lakes and bubbling hot springs. In most sections, the footprints you see will be those of elk and deer, not humans. Both popular areas like the Bighorn Crags near Challis and remote areas like the Big Creek draninage near Yellow Pine are included in the book. Several of the roads to trailheads, such as the road to Sleeping Deer and the Nez Perce Trail Road are adventures in themselves. 239 pages, 40 photos, 68 maps. 2002. ISBN 0-9664233-2-1 $16.95
