Salmon River Gorge
1963 Naming Expedition
Final Falls

      
 Final Falls is the
      last of six major waterfalls in the Salmon River Gorge. Final
      Falls drops 45 feet into a narrow box canyon. The members of
      the 1963 expedition managed to reach river level for this photo,
      taken from a ledge that I was unable to reach in our 1983 expedition
      to the lower group of falls.


      
Final
      Falls is located just downstream from Frustration Falls, and
      is most often viewed from precarious cliffs that rise several
      hundred feet above the falls. A smaller, unnamed falls visible
      in this photo is referred to as "Upper Final Falls"
      in these pages.
