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

The top photo is Snow Hole Rapid. Lisa Lombardi is rowing the raft. The rock just ahead of her is surely the scariest one on this whole river segment, but the water tends to take you safely past it.



These two photos were taken at one of our campsites. The log leaning against the cliff testifies about the power of this river during high water. There are many logs in the canyon much higher than this one. The Salmon River at high water is not a place you'd wanna be. It's a very friendly river later in the summer, though.
