4/3/2026 - Salmon River Falls

A short ride to my favorite close-by falls.  What a shock when I got there!  I've been to these falls more times that I can remember and I've never seen even a flow this strong.  I would have liked to go down the gorge trail a little, but it was closed likely due to the flow and the fact that there is still some ice showing on the walls of the gorge.  You can see the normal flow here in my last visit to them.  Though it wasn't the first picture, I placed a picture of a sign post at the top of the falls.  You are seeing roughly 3 or 4 feet (91 or 122cm for my European friends) of it.  I can't recall but I believe it is at least 6 feet tall (183cm).  Normally, you can sit right next to it as there is a little ledge making it like a bench.  Quite an impressive amount of water given this usually has only 3 small streams coming over.

Site Notes: There are a couple of overlooks that are 100% accessible and quite nice viewing locations!
