About this place

Dry Saddle trailhead is one of the major trailheads accessing the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness lying north of the Salmon River. It provides access to many high mountain lakes along Sheep Hill Trail #575. It is only a 10-mile hike to Sheep Hill Lookout. A loading ramp is provided for stock. The 250 degree view from the trailhead is spectacular! From State Highway 14, turn south onto Red River-Dixie Road #222. Follow Road #222 past Red River Ranger Station (now closed) to its junction with Nezperce Trail Road #468. Turn east onto Road #468 and follow approximately 33 miles to the trailhead.
