Trailhead Forecast
Description / Access Information
Murdoch Creek Trail:The out-and-back out Murdock Creek follows the bottom of a steep and narrow, avalanche-prone canyon. Constructed in 2010, this wheelchair accessible trail offers a consistent and gentle grade for more than a mile out the canyon. The route is an out-and-back. The first mile of the trail is open to all non-motorized traffic. After one mile the trail enters the Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness, where the trail becomes closed to bicycle traffic.
Directions: From Ketchum head north. The SNRA headquarters is about 8 or 9 miles north of town, on the right/east side of Hwy 75. Take the right into the SNRA entrance road and drive past the SNRA Headquarters to the first Y-junction. Take a right and continue .5 miles to the trailhead.
