SALMON-CHALLIS NATIONAL FOREST TRAIL CLOSURES (Middle Fork Complex)
Salmon, Idaho: The Salmon-Challis National
Forest has closed four wilderness trails on the North Fork Ranger District.
Closure signs are being posted to inform forest visitors. These closures are
necessary to provide forest visitors protection from the current safety hazards
associated with the Middle Fork Complex of fires, which includes the Waterfall
and Stoddard fires. More closures may be necessary based on fire activity and
firefighting operations.
