About
US Forest Service campground. Home to yet another one of our glorious wooden suspension pack bridges, at the junction of FS Road 250 and the Fourth of July pack bridge, the Fourth of July Trailhead offers a few dispersed campsites and many breathtaking views. Visitors traveling the Windy Ridge Trail will experience beautiful scenery and views into the 1910 Great Burn areas and the Lolo Motorway. The Idaho Centennial Trail also shares a portion of the trail between trails 531 and 634. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
