Rapid River trail bridge closed for repairs
TRAILS -- Here's another example of why it's best to check ahead with land managers before launching out on a backcountry trek.
On June 20, the Forest Service will temporarily close one of the bridges that access trails in the Rapid River drainage, a popular hiking and horse-packing area near Riggins, Idaho.
A bridge on Trail No. 113 on the main stem of Rapid River will be closed beginning probably through June 25, Salmon River Ranger District officials say.
The bridge is 3 miles from Rapid River Trailhead and will be closed while Forest Service trail crews install new bridge decking and hand rails. The public will not be allowed to travel across the bridge during the closure.
Info: District recreation supervisor, Jeremy Harris, (208) 839-2109.
