HELL’S CANYON

After we left Joseph we headed east over Hwy 39 to Hell’s Canyon. Stopped at the overlook for the views but honestly were a little disappointed that you can’t see the river from that angle. We continued down the mountain to Oxbow where we found a delightful Idaho Power Co. campground called Copperfield with hookups for $16.00 a night. The next day we headed up river to the Dam. Along the way we passed another Power Co. park on the river, saw a vacant spot, paid for it then continued on. When we got to the visitor center at the Dam we signed up for the afternoon Jet Boat ride. We took the 2 hr tour. Great fun!

This campsite  at the Hell's Canyon  campgroung is right along the river but can’t see it too well in this picture. Very scenic and peaceful, enough space for any size rig.
