The trail has been logged out as far as the junction with the abandoned Fir Tree Trail. (The junctions with this and the also abandoned Dry Lake Trail are both obvious and that route is worth exploring, I think.) The route crosses Fir Tree Creek three times. After this, it reaches the Salmon River at a lovely campsite and then crosses Wolf Creek, where there’s another camp.
There are a few big bundles of blowdown across the trail closer to Linney Creek. I could scramble over, under, and around all of these although some contortions were required at a couple of the trail blocks. There are a few big Douglas-firs in this area but most of these wilderness slopes are unlogged “new” growth recovering after the extensive Sherar Burn of about 120 years ago. There are still rotting burn snags in the understory. The Linney Creek Camp is a great site at a swimming hole. A recent tenant had much time on their hands creating shelters for the local pixie population. A ford of the Salmon River is required to head up to the Linney Creek Trailhead, only about half a mile away.
