Our first peek into the Snake River Canyon – distorted by image stitching software.
Basalt has been bleached.
Lava tubes and flow contacts within the walls of the canyon serve as groundwater conduits.
Un-warped image doesn’t include view directly downward.
Snake River downstream from Twin Falls.
Hydroelectric plant at base of falls.
Notice patina on rocks behind Dyan.
Beautiful patina coating.
Bathtub-sized pot hole at base of falls.
Intrepid paddleboarders exploring crevices at base of falls. This shot is zoomed way in.
Our campsite is located in a segment of the Snake River canyon called “1,000 Springs” for good reason.
Purdy dang nice.
We’ve been disappointed by some October 1st closings of waypoints (e.g., big National Forest campsite on a lake in Utah, lave tube cave north of Twin Falls). I’m starting to re-consider our plans to head to Glacier National after Oregon. A southern route would be more prudent.
