Information
Everything about the Snake River in Hells Canyon is big. Big river, big waves, big views, big cliffs. The canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America, several thousand feet deeper than the Grand Canyon. Idaho's Seven Devils Mountains tower on one side; Oregon's Wallowas on the other. There are three entrances to the canyon (via Lewiston, White Bird and Cambridge) and two ways to ride the river: jet boat or raft. Hells Canyon trips include fascinating stops at historic sites with Indian pictographs and a historic ranch. To search for outfitters, see www.visitidaho.org/whitewater
