Duffield Creek is a hard hike in Idaho's Salmon-Challis National Forest, on the Middle Fork Ranger District. The trail is about 16 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 2,400 feet, and it is an out-and-back route that climbs from a low point of about 6,300 feet to a high point of about 8,900 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open year-round. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for riders on horseback or for hikers who want to move at a slower pace. Bernard Creek lies about half a mile away, and Sheep Mtn Ridge is about 3 miles off. Beaver-Trail Creek is about 4 miles away, and the Rapid River, a canoeing route, is about 6 miles away.
