Salmon River

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain	USFS Trail #
Difficult	14.0 Miles One-way	36,960 est.		742

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

This is actually a series of trails that will loop you back to the start. Start on the Salmon River Trail to Dry Lake Trail (672). Turn right on Dry Lake Trail and then left on Fir Tree Trail (674) followed by another left on Salmon River Trail (742) which will take you back to the car.
