Visiting Hells Canyon: A Comprehensive Guide to the DEEPEST Gorge in North America!

Discover What's So Special About Hells Canyon - One of Most Beautiful Places On Earth!
Welcome to Hells Canyon!
Hells Canyon National Recreation Area is heaven on earth to the hikers, campers, rafters and boaters who have experienced its many faces.
Hells Canyon, North America's deepest river gorge, encompasses a vast and remote region with dramatic changes in elevation, terrain, climate and vegetation. Carved by the great Snake River, Hells Canyon plunges more than a mile below Oregon's west rim, and 8,000 feet below snowcapped He Devil Peak of Idaho's Seven Devils Mountains. There are no roads across Hells Canyon's 10-mile wide expanse, and only three roads in the state that lead to the Snake River between Hells Canyon Dam and the Oregon-Washington boundary.
Trip tip: Be on the lookout for bear, elk, mule deer, big horn sheep and eagles as well as wild flowers, ancient pictographs and log cabins left by prospectors, miners and 19th century settlers.

OMFG I love this episode so much! My family stopped for a breathtaking scenic view of Hells Canyon on our way elsewhere. (A long time ago!) This video shows what we would have seen had we stayed to explore! Oregon is so diverse, you could spend years exploring it and still find new things. Another great video, thank you!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

That is so awesome. Really glad you enjoyed it and that it brought back some memories.

[@federicozimerman8167]

Cool video😃

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thank you

[@gwengwen4535]

This is so awesome you guys! I am going to visit my son in the Boise area, we are leaving early Saturday morning and I want to go through there! I’ve lived in Oregon for over 40 years and have only just seen the painted hills, but have never really been into that area. I am so excited I have no words lol! That tavern sounds like just my kind of place. I would make friends for life there I’m positive😆🙌🏼

[@adventuresofjandk]

That is awesome. Hope you have a fantastic time. It literally feels like you are in another world. It’s not the Oregon you may be used to that is for sure. Keep us posted. Would love to know what you thought about it.

[@gwengwen4535]

@@adventuresofjandk We didn’t end up going there! We went to Leslie Gulch instead. It was pretty incredible-I definitely want to go back and see Hells canyon next time I visit them!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Never heard of Leslie Gulch so will be looking into that.

[@gwengwen4535]

@@adventuresofjandk Definitely do! It’s pretty incredible. I definitely recommend taking a paddle board or boat of some kind- the lake is massive and I’m sure there is so much to take in from the vantage point of being on the water. A lot of people park their rigs and head out for days on the lake (Owyhee reservoir,) docking and camping all over. I want to see what they see!! We also saw a bunch of side by sides going up the buttes and bluffs etc around the area- I bet they also see some incredible stuff!

[@adventuresofjandk]

@gwengwen4535 awesome thank you for the information on that. We live in Oregon so not to far for us.

[@mwaynem]

The last two trips I made to Joseph was in May and there was only a few tourists.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ya pretty quite except in the summer

[@sjaakmcd1804]

And that's what happens when thousands of years of ice age comes to an end. Glacial dams burst repeatedly, releasing trillions of tons of water that gouged out the land and dumped the minerals as far away as Arkasas. This place is the most incredible place that I have ever seen, unfathomly massive, breathtaking and the only State that I would leave the UK to live in. Thank you for posting this global scale splendour

[@adventuresofjandk]

What a great response. Thank you.

[@Muddywatersist]

the first stop and overlook was not the Snake River, it's the Imnaha River

[@adventuresofjandk]

Much appreciated

[@johnnypark3729]

WOW!!! Putting this place on, “The List!” Thank you!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thanks Johnny. It was pretty cool.

[@ponyrang]

My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thank you

[@youlikemyshorts8039]

Wow! What an incredible place.

[@JasonRenfrow]

Hells Canyon is incredible. Hard to believe there was nobody there.

[@adventuresofjandk]

🤙

[@kyledodson2992]

It’s underrated as could be. Grand Canyon always gets the press, but hells canyon is just as insane

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@kyledodson2992 100% agree

[@billortloff4215]

I saw it from above and below. It is an experience. I did not see this... another trip is a must.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Definitely. Such an amazing view.

[@HolisticHikes]

Fantastic.., The wildlife mentioned, plus the eastern Oregon scenery you captured! A new perspective! Gosh, thank you for showing us!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Our pleasure. We appreciate you watching and supporting us. All the best.

[@HolisticHikes]

@@adventuresofjandk Of course!!

[@thetraveljunkies8652]

Cool ❤

[@adventuresofjandk]

[@joelavenburg5761]

I'd never heard of Hell's Canyon. Great video. Merry Christmas Jason and Kim, hope it's more enjoyable this year.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Merry Christmas to you as well Joe. Thank you for your support.

[@najadahe2828]

This is a supervideo . I'll be visiting Hells Canyon this April.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Much appreciated

[@FakeAstronomer]

I can't believe I have never heard of hell's canyon, it looks beautiful

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ya it definitely doesn’t get the credit it deserves

[@Bigheartrolling]

Thanks for this. I was trying to figure out whether to go here or not. Now I know what to expect. Adventure on.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Yes! Definitely worth a trip.

[@edcharlton2128]

When we first moved to Enterprise in 04 they used to have a bear and rattlesnake feed at the Imnaha tavern. You weren't to far from Lord's Flat which is still considered an active runway. Aboutv8 years ago we rode 4 wheelers out there. About 9 hour round trip.

[@adventuresofjandk]

That is interesting. Always love hearing about towns from locals.

[@thetraveljunkies8652]

We’re you in the car when you saw the bobcat?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ya.

[@chreeess]

Shoot, I grew up and live in Colorado Springs (over a mile up) and 7,000 ft is 7,000 ft!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

👍

[@LTD-7]

*The most beautiful part of hells canyon is in twin falls idaho. It's the most beautiful land I've ever seen..*

[@adventuresofjandk]

Definitely on our list of places to see.

[@prairieletters]

Twin falls is along the Snake River Canyon. Hells Canyon divides Idaho and Oregon. The Snake River flows through both canyons but they are not the same canyon.

[@prairieletters]

Hells Canyon is the deepest canyon/gorge in North America at 7,900 ft deep. Jaw droppingly gorgeous, very remote and wild. The Grand Canyon at its deepest is 6000 deep.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@prairieletters appreciate the information

[@justbreathe917]

Unbelievable. Hard to believe that is Oregon.

[@adventuresofjandk]

We thought the same thing.

[@kimberlyrenfrow461]

What an amazingly beautiful place. I had no clue we had something that gorgeous in Oregon. The road was insane but totally worth it - especially since I wasn’t the one driving.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ya thanks for that. 😀

[@kimingram7649]

Lol. I've been there several times. Yall got to see this great part of Oregon. Ultra cool place! Love it always!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

We really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to get back there someday.

[@jdright1157]

Wow!! 🤔🤔 I thought someone was not comfortable with heights??!! 🤣

[@adventuresofjandk]

😅. It was a challenge that is for sure. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[@ulmasalli2074]

We started watching....but u guys talking to much and showing ur faces more then beauty around u...didnt finished ur video...

[@adventuresofjandk]

It’s a vlog but that’s cool.
