Our first look at the Snake River, was where it flows out from the Palisades Reservoir. Its 1,078-miles long and begins somewhere in Wyoming south of Yellowstone Lake. It has the deepest gorge in North America, called Hells Canyon. We saw it again at Taco Hole, a kayaker’s drop-in place, and then just past the bend where Ansel Adam’s took his historic photo in 1942.
Driving along it was a pleasure.
The river is swift and cold; swimming anywhere in is not recommended. We are not kayakers, so we let someone else do the river running.
But it was when we took a cruise on it and got down at the water’s level, we really learned about it.
