The deepest canyon in North American, straddling the borders of Idaho and Oregon, Hells Canyon is a place of grandeur. According to Nez Perce Indian legend, the mythical figure "Coyote" dug Hells Canyon with a big stick to protect the Indians' ancestors in Oregon's Blue Mountains from the "Seven Devils" across the gorge in Idaho. Raft trips through Hells Canyon are journeys through a land rich in myth and geologic wonder. Running from south to north, the Snake River in Hells Canyon cuts through some of the most rugged, spectacular landscape on earth. Where boulders and rockslides have rolled into the river, you'll find the biggest rapids in the Pacific Northwest. Between the rapids, there's plenty of time to kick back and marvel at the snow-capped peaks over a mile above you, or mountains of golden grass and pine forests. Your thoughts may be interrupted by a soaring eagle, ambling bear or wild mountain goat. A lot of folks come to the Snake because of the bountiful fishing for trout, small mouth bass and North America's largest freshwater fish, the white sturgeon. Others come to learn more about the pioneers who homesteaded here and to see the well-preserved Indian rock art. Most everyone enjoys swimming in the near 70-degree water.
