A boardwalk takes you the first 500 feet of this trail and the remaining distance is unsurfaced. The Salamander Ridge Trail provides you access to the subalpine mountain region and boasts excellent views of the Eastern Passage.
To get here from Wrangell, drive about 27 miles south on the Zimovia Highway and continue on Forest Road 6265 to its intersection with Forest Road 50050. The trailhead will be on the right near the end of the road.
