We’ll head north, towards Kellettville. On the way we’ll see beautiful vistas, rock cliffs, and lovely streams. Those who make it to the north end of Little Salmon Valley will see evidence of beaver.

It is about 2.2 miles to the Amsler shelter and back, 5 miles to get to the Bench overlook and back, 7.2 miles to go to FR 216 and back or 9.6 miles to get to the north end of Little Salmon Valley and back. The length of the hike can be adjusted based on the desires of the participants.

Please come prepared for the hike dressed in appropriate layers for the weather, and carrying your own food and water. Friendly dogs, on leash, are welcome. Hope to see you there!
