Scott and I spent a couple of nights in Hell’s Canyon and took a half day jet boat tour below Hells Canyon dam.

Mitch was tied up with school, Marilyn thought it was too wet and cold and I couldn’t talk Emily and Kevin in joining us.
Monday evening we stayed at Eagle Bar, which was in sight of Hell’s Canyon damn. Across the road was the Red Ledge Mine trail.
Boat docks
We got a break on the weather. Tuesday morning it was only 40’ degrees and the clouds were starting to clear. Still decided to wear long johns.
At several of the rapids, they would open the front windows for photo opportunities.
The boat stopped at Benard creek for a look at Indian drawings and a home stead.
The cabin was occupied ~ 1900 by a black smith. It looked like the homesteads you find in the desert, a bit more preserved because of the remoteness.
When we got back to the dam the hatchery trucks were releasing steelhead.
Tuesday night we stayed at Big Bar.
