There are four ways to get to Yellow Pine (counting the airport), but the easiest is from the town of Cascade on Idaho State 55. Just north of town turn east toward Warm Lake. Go about 23 miles and turn left toward Krassel RS. Go down the South Fork Salmon 30 miles. When the road turns to gravel turn right and go 14.5 miles up the East Fork of the South Fork to the intersection of Yellow Pine Ave, Stibnite Road and Johnson Creek Road.

The road can be seen just above these boaters. It is usually closer, but does not intrude.
This is a good lunch spot. It has plenty of parking, but skimpy camping. Sit in the ladies toidy with the door open and look accross the river to see Osprey nesting.
Even the easy stuff is a lot of fun.
Burried in the first drop below Caton Creek.
