Hike where few footsteps are found

The hills hugging the Main Salmon offer hikes that range from easy to extreme. In the morning before we broke camp it was fun to explore. Often there was a trail on the north side that traced the canyon just above the high water line. Other times we followed goat trails that zigzagged the steep slopes. What a pretty place.

Kayaking lesson

Two in our party kayaked while the rest of us floated the river in the big boats. A few hours in the inflatable kayak will give you a taste of what it's like to be one with the river. As I wrote earlier in this blog the view is much different because you ride in the current rather than atop of it.

After several days our daughter asked for a lesson in kayaking. Harder than it looks. Here she sits in a borrowed Dagger, sprayskirt secured, ready to roll. Took several attempts to get it right. The smile on her face told us it was fun.
