Salmon River Gorge
1963 Naming Expedition
Upper Final Falls

      
Upper Final
      Falls is the unofficial name of a 15 foot drop in the Salmon
      River, located immediately above Final Falls. The members of
      the 1963 expedition took this photo from the top of Final Falls.
      This view provides a wonderful example of the massive old-growth
      forest that thrives on the narrow ledges and cliffs of the Salmon
      River Gorge.

      
During high
      water, this falls broadens to pour over the entire face of the
      rock shelf to the right of the main falls, indicated here by
      fallen logs deposited during heavy runoff.
