Sections 3: Wildfire French Creek Rd
There is a fire on French Creek Rd, north of Burgdorf Hotsprings. French Creek Rd is closed at “fingers” switchbacks.
Our suggested reroute is to take E Fork Rd at Yellowpine, heading West towards McCall. Then, 55 west to 95 North towards Riggins. Finally, take Big Salmon Rd East and rejoin the route at Riggins Hotsprings.
Sections 7 & 8 CLOSURES: Character & Trestle Complex Fires
Fires in sections 7 & 8 are affecting the route. The Character Complex Fire closure just north of Wallace and the Trestle Complex Fire just north of Clark Fork have closed off portions of sections 7 & 8.
We suggest the following workarounds –
Section 7 – NF 456 to Beaver Creek Rd, rejoining the route at Coeur d’Alene River Rd.
Section 8 – Hwy 200 from Clark Fork to Trestle Creek
ROAD CLOSURE: LOLO MOTORWAY
We have received reports that effective July 8, a portion of Forest Service Road #500, also known as the Lolo Motorway, will be CLOSED due to active wildfire in the area.
The workaround we suggest is taking HWY 581 (Toboggan Ridge) at Cayuse Jct over to Kelly Creek Work Center and take a left on 255 and another left on 250 and follow that down to Pierce.

NO LONGER GAS AT BURGDORF HOT SPRINGS

An alternate for fuel is Secesh Stage stop only 4 miles down the road.
