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.
