Salmon River Gorge
1963 Naming Expedition
Frustration Falls

      
 This rare, spectacular
      view of the falls shows five members of the 1963 OGNB naming
      expedition overlooking the narrow box canyon that Frustration
      Falls spills into. One member of the expedition is crossing a
      side creek that floats some 200 feet into the canyon in a wispy
      thread (this tributary is referred to as Little Frustration Falls
      in the 1983 expedition pages).


      
This
      is the only photo from the 1963 expedition that shows five members,
      and thus as least six members are thought to have made the trip.
      Though it is unknown how these explorers reached this spot in
      the Salmon River Gorge, the sheer cliffs to the left of the falls
      in this
      view suggest that the group did not approach from upstream.
