Hike, horseback ride, or mountain bike. There are also two National Recreation Trails that meanders for hundreds of miles. Many hikers use these two trails as training grounds for more challenging hikes in the backcountry or for tackling a monumental trail like the Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest Trail, both of which stretch well over 2,000 miles. Around 500 miles of trails are set aside for ATVs and OHVs, too.

In late spring and early summer, whitewater rafting is a fun, bouncing, high-octane activity. Upper Salmon River historically can achieve Class IV in years with moderate to deep snowfall. When winter rolls around, the fun doesn’t stop either. There are four downhill ski areas, all with a good variety of slopes suited to beginners and experts alike. The park also keeps around 50 miles of trails groomed for snowmobiles and over 80 miles for cross-country skiing.
