Salmon River Gorge
March 1983 Expedition
Split Falls
 

      
Another view of the twin cataracts
      of Split Falls from the top of a cliff on the north side of the
      falls. In this photo, some of the massive, house-sized boulders
      that are typical of the Salmon River Gorge, can be seen to the
      right of the falls. These 30 foot blocks of basalt have dropped
      hundreds of feet from the canyon walls, eventually resting at
      the bottom of the Salmon River Gorge, where even the force of
      river can barely move them.
