Fog Mountain Trailhead

Fog Mountain Trailhead serves as a rugged gateway to the pristine Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. Located at the end of the challenging Forest Service Road 319, this high-altitude destination offers an unparalleled experience for those seeking true solitude and immediate access to some of Idaho’s most breathtaking backcountry terrain. It is a premier starting point for hikers and equestrians looking to explore the Cove Lakes, South Tree Links Lake, and Fog Mountain trails.

The setting is defined by steep, rocky terrain that demands a four-wheel-drive vehicle for access. Due to the extreme road conditions, this site is strictly off-limits to trailers and large RVs, making it best suited for experienced tent campers, rugged car campers, or those prepared for backcountry excursions. Visitors should come fully self-sufficient, as there are no hookups or developed amenities provided at this primitive USFS site.

This location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize wilderness access over modern comforts. Whether you are planning a multi-day trek into the wilderness or looking for a remote basecamp, Fog Mountain Trailhead offers a wild, year-round environment for those ready to navigate its demanding approach.
