Track Caribou in the Salmo-Priest Wilderness
Glimpse these rare mammals in Idaho's Salmo-Priest Wilderness.
Friday
From the Salmo Basin trailhead at the end of FR 2220, you'll switchback 3.5 miles, passing through sub-alpine spruce and plush cedar to a knee- to waist-deep river ford. (Look upstream for a downed tree to cross). If you're short on daylight, camp in one of two sites on the north bank after you cross. Otherwise, continue along the trail, climbing gradually for two miles to Crutch Creek, where the path forks. Head left to a sweet tent site a couple hundred yards short of where the trail crosses the South Salmo again. You'll have sunset views of 7,572-foot Snowy Top Mountain's bald summit.

HYCY13769R86 I am very interested in your blog, thank you for sharing.You guys, this is clearly not Michael Kors Handbags¡¯ first time at the rodeo, even if it was his first time on safari. Kors used a recent trip to a luxurious South African resort in the middle of a nature reserve to power the Michael Kors Hamilton Handbags show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York, and if you¡¯re having a hard time seeing the theme in these photos, then you might want to get your eyes checked. From the prints to the proportions to the accessories, Michael Kors Classic Handbags were steadfastly ¡°Afriluxe,¡± as he called it in his show notes.The tie-dye prints were the easy standout of the collection, and they were wearable and casual in a way that¡¯s rarely elevated to luxuriousness on the runway. Michael Kors Crossbody Bags pulled it off, though, and things got even better when those pieces were accented with tonal python. The best look? A full tan-orange python trench coat, which I dare you not to stare at for at least a solid 30 seconds. http://www.michaelkors-outletsale.com
Salmo Priest Wilderness is in Washington not Idaho.

In reality, you probably have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than seeing these animals on a trip to this area. I would plan my visit for other reasons, like the remoteness and the scenery. The possibility of seeing caribou, although remote, does exist as a bonus to exploring this beautiful area.
Seariously, if viewing and observing caribou is a serious goal, drive the Alaska highway through northern B.C. and into the Yukon, go to Denali NP, or drive another remote northern road like the Dalton Highway.
Good article except it's in Washington, not Idaho.
This hike\drive to the high country is well worth the trip. The road up to the old lookout tower is nearly a jeep trail but SUV's amd Pick-ups should make it if there is no snow.
Great hunting and berry picking too.
