The Great American Road Trip, Part 6


We left Caldwell, ID and headed in the direction of Baker City, OR via Hells Canyon Scenic Byway. This canyon is the deepest in the country, carved by the Snake River and nicknamed "the cradle of the Snake"; the walls, in places are very steep, sheer rock cliffs. I will simply include photos here, for you to look at without any further commentary; it was a stunnning drive with each view of the river , around each bend in the road, more commanding than the one before. There are more adventures to come, and more quilt shops to report on too, in the next few installments of this ongoing travelogue. But, for today, I leave you with the Snake River... in all of its glory.









 Life is Good!

You have probably already said, but I don't remember ... how long did your trip take? My hubby and I talk a lot about doing a similar trip, possibly on our way to Seattle to take a cruise to Alaska. But we have no idea how long this would take. Of course, to date we've not been able to resist the temptation to go to the beach whenever we plan a trip. ;-)
