North Central

Together with the adjacent wilderness, this portion of the Salmon River is the core of a 2.3 million acre roadless area, the Frank Church Wilderness River of No Return. It is the definition of ‘getting away from it all’. As part of the largest roadless area in the lower 48 states, families can explore their wild side in this breathtaking and inspiring scenic wonderland.
