The north fork of the Payette River just south of Cascade Idaho. It looks very tranquil at first, but drops into one of the longest runs of class V rapids all along the highway south.. Even John has only run a few of them. We drove up the south fork of the Payette in this lovely valley.
The south fork of the Payette river is in this beautiful canyon. The Sawtooth mountains in the distance.
The Salmon river just west of Stanley, Id runs through green meadows with a backdrop of the Sawtooth Mountains. The Salmon river canyon before Challis, Id has lots of cool volcanic formations.
We parked at the Round Valley RV park in Challis, Id. There are beautiful mountains all around the valley. I am working on this basket now. It has a dichroic glass face I cast in the center. It looked a little like an African mask to me so I added African trade beads. Is made with natural and dyed black pine needles.
Beautiful historic downtown Challis, Idaho. The evening light on the ridges south of town.
Sunset was lovely.
Beautiful, historic downtown Salmon, Id. Salmon is on the River of no return. We passed the ski area on the border of Idaho and Montana. Lost Trail Pass ski area.
This little girl like our guard snake. She asked if she could show it to her friends. Soon we heard all these screeching girls. Pretty funny, John had to rescue the snake from them. We passed the 45th Parallel, halfway between the equator and the north pole., Welcome to Montana, if you need any skulls bleached Darby is your place, We are not following the Lewis and Clark trail. Transport f invasive species in Montana is illegal! We had to have our boats inspected twice for invasive species.
Our first stop in town was at the Bandit Brewing company. John with his red ale and my porter is right behind him. For dinner we went to the Darby's Last Friday celebration in the city park. There was live music and food trucks. We got tacos and listened to great music.
Beautiful historic downtown Darby, Montana. A barn next to the campground.
We are camped at Travelers Rest. Sunset over the RV park.
We are missing the Twisted Nut Festival next weekend! A bronze statue of Sacajawea in Darby.
