May 31 (Tuesday): Snake River / Hells Canyon
Before we set out on today's only adventure, a little look at our B&B, the White Bird Summit Lodge, located 9 miles south of Grangeville, ID. Terri and Frank, especially Terri, made us feel like family.
The Schmitz's have traveled the world hunting and the B&B reflects their many trophies acquired over the years.
Yes, that is a giraffe.
But our main adventure today is a jet boat ride through Hells Canyon on the Snake River. We set off from Pittsburgh Landing, a precarious drive over the mountain from White Bird, ID.
We travel through three class five rapids. This is not one of them. During the class fives, I was hanging on.
We turn around at the Hells Canyon Dam ...
and spot some wildlife (big horn sheep ewes) on the way back down.
We spend a second night at the White Bird Summit Lodge.
