Warm Springs Trail #203 Reroute

Payette National Forest Adams, Idaho Council Ranger District

Post Mesa Fire erosion of Warm Springs Creek has compromised a section of Trail #203. Rerouting the trail up the hillside would provide for safety of trail users, a sustainable trail tread, limit trail-caused erosion, and achieve USFS trail standards

Location

Reroute work would be performed on Trail #203, along Warm Springs Creek in the Middle Fork Weiser River drainage.
