Selway River Trail #4

Area Status: Open

The trailhead begins at Race Creek Campground at the end of the Selway River Road #223. This is a good, well-maintained trail that is 50 miles long. It follows the Selway River from the trailhead 26 miles to the historic Moose Creek Ranger Station, and many points beyond into the 1.34 million acre Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The Wilderness boundary is approximately 2 miles from the trailhead. The trail has some steep grades. Be mindful of your footing and oncoming stock. Watch for Rattlesnakes in hot, rocky areas. When you encounter stock (horse, mule, etc.) on the trail, step off to the downhill side of the trail. Talk to both the rider and the stock in a calm voice as they pass.
