Snake River and Hell's Canyon
Homestead, Baker County, Oregon at bottom of 'V' lower left. Road to Hell's Canyon Dam on Idaho side of Snake River. | Still Baker County looking east to Idaho, Snake River somewhere below |
Taken from top of North Pine Creek ridge with Homestead out of sight below right. Ahead on Snake River is Hell's Canyon Park in Idaho and you can faintly see a road winding up the mountain adjacent to the park which goes to Cuprum which was a famous gold mining area beginning in the 1800's | |
