Salmon River flowing through ancient Lava flow

June 22, 2007.

We are staying in White Bird tonight.

We are staying at Angel's Nook RV-Park in White Bird, Idaho. $12.80 FHU no TV signal, no cell phone service, no wifi. Actually, there is no TV service or cell phone service in town. This is a small private RV-Park definitely mom & pop but close to town in the back yard of one of the oldest homes in town an an easy walk to everything in White Bird. It is a Passport America Park and we would stay here again.

When driving US 95 north between Riggins and White Bird look for areas where the Salmon River flows through ancient lava flows.

The Salmon River is carving this canyon through extremely hard basalt rock (an old lava flow). Joyce took this picture somewhere along US-95 between Riggins and White Bird, Idaho.

Another picture of the Salmon River flowing through that ancient lava flow.

That ancient lava flow is extremely hard basalt thus the steep canyon walls.
