Meadow Creek trail, off of Selway River
2018, due to a slide, is closed to stock, 3 miles up. A lot of the area has burned in recent years, so a chainsaw or some other cutting implement is usually necessary for going with stock, coming and going. Not a trail, past the 3 mile, for those nervous of heights. I think there is historical reasons to keep this trail open.
