Salmon River Gorge
March 1983 Expedition
Split Falls
 

      
At river level, Split Falls
      is a noisy, wet experience. In this view, the basalt island that
      splits the river into separate channels is visible, with hemlock
      and Western red cedar growing on the island. For a sense of scale,
      the logs in the right falls are roughly 3 feet in diameter. The
      lens flare in this picture is not the result of sun reflecting
      in the camera, but rather the bright white surface of the river
      as it foams over Split Falls.
