Bridge Creek Ridge is a 19.3-mile out-and-back hike in Idaho's Salmon-Challis National Forest, within the Middle Fork Ranger District. The route rises from about 5,023 feet to a high point of 8,797 feet, with a total climb of 508 feet, and is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open year-round. The trail's natural surface allows horses, and bikes are not permitted. The climb is one way, and the round trip adds the same amount again. Plan for the whole distance and the elevation gain, and expect the route to be demanding from start to finish. Nearby, Hot Creek Ridge and Liberty Creek Ridge are both within about 3 miles, and Martin Mountain and Rock Lake are each a little over 4 miles away.
