Hells Canyon National Recreation Area Overview

From 9,300-foot alpine peaks to desert-like river bottoms almost 8,000 feet below, Hells Canyon National Recreation Area contains an amazing variety of elevation and environment. Hells Canyon itself is the deepest canyon in North America. You can pedal down trails that traverse open, grassy benches and thickly timbered draws; hike along steep, narrow trails that were blasted into sheer rock bluffs; and raft through churning, frothy white water with monolithic mountains rising up on all sides.
