The Salmon River National Recreation Trail is a National Recreation Trail in Oregon's northern Cascade Mountains among the foothills of Mount Hood. About 12 miles (19 km) of the trail's 70 miles (110 km) length is within the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness, and parallels the Salmon River, though often along the top of a high cliff.
