Just got back from Idaho and thought I would share some photos. First creek in a beautiful box canyon. Three day, 2 night trip in the canyon of the Teton river. Another creek. And another creek. I must confess to having the habit of taking pics of scenery and not of fish. To busy fishing.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I go on some of the best trips and never leave home while looking through this forum. Do you know if that area had a fire in the past 50 yrs? All the trees are evergreens and none seem very big.
All these locations are different. As much as 3 hours away from each other. I will say they tried to dam the canyon of the Teton river but the dam failed and you can see how high the water got in the third pic. Hardly any trees down low and mature trees up high on the left side of the canyon which faces north and thus is wetter and can support pines, fir, and spruce.
Also, you look at the Teton pics and it looks miles away from anything. But everywhere above the rim is miles and miles of irrigated barley, alfalfa, and potato fields.
Wow, great pics of what musta been an awesome trip/experience foragefarmer. You probably wanted it to last much longer, I'd say!
I went for 12 days and must confess I was kind of fished out by the end. I do wish we could get some of the weather they have out there back here. Highs in the 70's-80's and lows in the 40's-50's. Great sleeping weather.
Ok, I got it now... Thought you meant the whole trip was 3 days / 2 nights....... Sometimes I'm a little dense/slow on the uptake. Side note: Savor that admission papadave, 'cos I don't let out that often......
Well, you're a little older than I am, so I figured I'd tee up some low hangin fruit for ya is all.... J/K, PD Except the part about you being a little older than me..... We can't escape that fact, can we?
Much of Idaho, Eastern Wastigton, and Montana burned in 1910. This may have been part of that, or maybe not. Great Fire of 1910 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://www.1910fire.com The "evergreens" are the most common trees in much of the northeast. Though some of them might be tamaracks (aka Western Larch), which are conifers, but not "evergreens." They turn golden in the fall and lose their needles. Larix occidentalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That place is beautiful and does look to have fire history. Trees grow slower and out their the landscape is dominated with conifers. Aspen is a common hardwood, they do not have vast forests of oak, hickory, maple and such as we do back east, just not enough moisture.
