Salmon River Gorge
1963 Naming Expedition
Frustration Falls
|
This close-up
view of the falls shows four members of the 1963 OGNB naming
expedition on a ledge above the narrow box canyon that Frustration
Falls spills into. During high water, the exposed basalt terracesof
the falls are completely overwhelmed by the river and the central
bowl becomes a huge rooster tail, as seen during the April 1983
expedition. Note the tiny ribbon of water that streams across
the upper right portion of the falls. It is unknown how the 1963
explorers on the naming expedition reached this spot in the Salmon
River Gorge. |
