Hells Canyon LOCATION: Idaho-Washington Border From Lewiston to Payette SIZE/LENGTH: 71.5 miles DESCRIPTION: There are two ways to ride the river and see the canyon. Jet boats offer sightseeing cruises both from Lewiston at the northern end and from Hells Canyon dam at the southern end. Rafts and dories float through the central 34-mile "Wild and Scenic" section of the river. Visitors often combine the two by float boating down the river and jet boating back to their starting point. Hells Canyon trips include fascinating stops at historic sites. The Nez Perce, Shoshone-Bannock and Northern Paiute Indians left rust-colored pictographs on walls and rocks throughout the canyon. The Kirkwood Ranch has been restored in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area to help visitors learn about early ranching and homesteading in the canyon. Hells Canyon is a green oasis full of wildlife and wild flowers in April and May. Hiking is spectacular along trails located on both sides of the river. Hot summer weather in June, July and August invite daytime water play and beach campsites under the stars. Long Indian summers attract steelhead and sturgeon fishermen.
