Hells Canyon
Hells Canyon, North America's deepest river gorge, encompasses a vast and remote region with dramatic changes in elevation, terrain, climate and vegetation. Carved by the great Snake River, Hells Canyon plunges more than a mile below Oregon's west rim, and 8,000 feet below snowcapped He Devil Peak of Idaho's Seven Devils Mountains. There are no roads across Hells Canyon's 10-mile wide expanse, and only three roads that lead to the Snake River between Hells Canyon Dam and the Oregon-Washington boundary.
Adventures
View basalt rock formed as the result of ancient volcanic eruptions. See weird five- to seven-sided columnar basalt formations caused by unique cooling conditions. Massive mountain areas that were once part of the ocean floor have been uplifted as jagged peaks abundant with limestone deposits.
Currency
The U.S. dollar (USD) is the official currency. Traveler's checks and credit cards are also widely accepted.
