Lower Salmon River, Launch on July 30

The Hammer Creek launch on Idaho's Lower Salmon River. It's very near Whitebird, which is north of Riggins. This five-day trip is downstream of the section known to river people as the "Main Salmon."

We took two rafts (the blue one is mine) and three inflatable kayaks.

The Salmon confluences with the Snake River, and the last twenty miles of the trip are on it. The takeout is at Heller Bar in the state of Washington, upstream from Lewiston.
