The Snake River through Hells Canyon… …offers tranquil pools, beautiful scenery, and abundant wildlife punctuated by some of the best Class IV whitewater in North America. As the Snake River turns north on its run to the Columbia River, it enters majestic Hell's Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America. With a depth of over 7,900 feet, the canyon frames the mountainous border of Oregon and Idaho. Nez Perce Indian legend claims “Coyote dug Hells Canyon with a big stick” to protect their ancestors in Oregon's Blue Mountains from the Seven Devils across the gorge in what is now Idaho. This "wild and scenic" designated section of river is the heart of the massive Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
