The Salmon River Canyon trail is usually snow-free in the winter, with higher water levels in the river and streams – and the forest at this time of year is lush with many shades of green.
On this three day backpacking trip, the forecast called for rain, so we took a few tarps and waterproof gear and setup a basecamp at Goat Creek.
Hike beside the Salmon River through a mossy forest with old-growth cedar and fir, primitive campsites, and spring wildflowers to a canyon viewpoint above the river.
Two nights of magical backpacking in a wet forest full of mushrooms and trees dripping with lichens.
