In this video I drive some incredible mountain roads in the remote backcountry of central Idaho and see some interesting stuff along the way that few people check out! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

THE ROUTE
Starting at the bridge (see coordinates above), I drove south along FSR 474 south to Warm Lake. From there I drove east over Warm Lake Summit (44.64423, -115.58567) to FSR 413 (Johnson Creek Rd; 44.65362, -115.54979) to Yellow Pine. I took the detour from there to near the Yellow Pine Pit but didn’t go all the way to the pit because of signage saying I had to check in at the office of the mining operation. From Yellow Pine, I followed the East Fork South Fork Salmon River back to the bridge where I started.
