Idaho Backcountry: Into the Frank Church

Thirteen landings through the largest wilderness in the lower 48, from McCall to Grangeville. It warms up on Johnson Creek's long turf, climbs to Stibnite and down the Loon Creek canyons to the Middle Fork, then meets the crux: Soldier Bar, a short, sloped, one-way bench above Big Creek. After that come Cold Meadows at 7,030 ft, Chamberlain at the heart of the Frank Church, a plunge to Mackay Bar on the Salmon River, and north into the Selway to Shearer and Moose Creek. Mind the density altitude, land where you mean to (Wilson Bar is 2 km from Mackay Bar), and check your sim has the smaller strips before you go.
