Burgdorf Hot Springs to French Creek Switchbacks and return on Centennial Trail

[100Acre]

This coming weekend I’m meeting an Overlander buddy of mine and we’re going to re-run the aforementioned title of this thread. It’ll be in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness just north of Mcall. I want to say it’s something like 60+ miles round trip. I did it two years ago in the 500 and it was awesome! Some of the best country in Idaho. The French creek switchbacks drop you down onto the Salmon River near the Wind River Bridge. A mile down the road, you pick up the Centennial Trail up through a bunch of old mining claims and some spectacular scenery over by Marshall lake. I’m so excited to be going back. I go to Burgdorf hot springs every year. It’s where I make banana nut pancakes with maple syrup and relax...
If’n anyone is in the area, feel free to join us.

Just making sure you know about the fire up there. I don't know anything about the area but just wanted to pass this along. Hope it doesn't effect your plans.

A few fires just popped up. Washington is in fire ban. Luckily around here not bad.

Kind of the same around here. Been pretty easy fireseason until the last couple of weeks. My neighbors both work for the BLM and they've been out quite abit lately. Like I said, I don't know the area at all but just remember hearing Burgdorf is some of the news headlines. Hopefully Fake News.
