Hike Sherman Creek Trail #203
Kooskia, Idaho
7.1 mi
/ 3790 ft gain

Such was the case at the Sherman Creek Trailhead in the Clearwater National Forest in west-central Idaho. This trail begins just north of US-12, where Sherman Creek starts emptying into the Lochsa River. (This will come in handy at the end of the hike for a quick, refreshing dip). While...

Start your hike to the hot springs at trailhead 211. Trail is roughly 5 miles with an easy gradual incline. Enjoy some of the mountainous views on your way. There are no signs directing you to the hot springs but there will be two forks in the road and you'll take the right path both times. Be aware that there is a river you must cross about 1/2 mile before arriving and there is no bridge. ...
