Mule Bridge for the WIN!!!

Wanting to re-experience Forks of the Salmon road, I picked either Idlewild or Mule Bridge as a destination. Forks of Salmon is EPIC, but not for the faint of heart. From 96 there are many single-lane, no guard rails & straight drops to the river 100s feet down. Idlewild is next to road, so went up 2 miles of gravel road to Mule Bridge. No clear ‘camping’ area, but 3 fire rings. About 9 cabins, on uphill side that are family-owned. A few USFS & CCC trucks from trail workers. Beautiful North Fork of Salmon, bubbling right next to camp. VERY little traffic & people. Pit toilet clean!! NO trash service seen. NO cell service (Verizon) A great spot & worth a return IMHO.

Sitefire pit area just short of pit toilet/parking area, right side
