High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

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.
