Description

At 3 2/3 miles, the Salmon Trout takes a sharp hook to the right (South) and reaches the confluence with the East Branch Salmon Trout (nearly equal in size). Hogback Falls will not be on your run, but on the East Branch of the river. (The 'distance' listed here is the mile marker for the confluence with that other stream.) It could be worth a hike to check out (other than it would be about 5/6 of a mile).
