The Selway River Trail is easily one of my top 3 favorite trails in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests. It’s an easy going saunter along the shores of a full river carving it’s way through the mountains. White, sandy beaches with campsites every couple of miles dot this river trail which runs for 30 miles or so to the Moose Creek Ranger Station and airstrip. Beautiful. Worth the effort. Extraordinary.

Very pretty hike. Only a little bit of climbing, makes for a fairly easy trek. My dog and I did the shorter loop, both my watch and GAIA app tracked me at just at 5 miles though, not 4.6. We did the hike June 9th, no snow. Tons of fungi around of all types. Didn’t see true morels but lots of gyromitra esculenta (brains).

This was one of my most favorite off road trips I’ve gone on.
