Scott Marchant, Hiking Idaho
The Hiker’s Guide to Hells Canyon & Seven Devils Country.
Hell’s Canyon, forged by the Snake River, makes up approximately 71 miles of the Idaho Oregon border. Fun fact, with the Seven Devil’s Mountains on the Idaho eastern side, Hell’s Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America at 7,993 ft, deeper than the Grand Canyon by 2,000 ft.
We will explore this with well known hiker and guidebook author, Scott Marchant. He will give a preview of his newest book, The Hiker’s Guide to Hells Canyon & Seven Devils Country. This book offers trails from Brownlee Dam to Hell’s Canyon Dam and he will tell all about them. Scott says there are many we just don't know about. He will also share spring hikes closer to home from his other guidebooks.
The meeting location is the Idaho Fish & Game Headquarters in Boise, at 600 South Walnut Street, Boise 83712. But you won’t find us at the main front door. You will use a side door, on the river side, south-east side, of the building). (For someone facing the front entrance to the building, the entrance will be on the right side.) A club member will be available to open the locked door between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. that evening. So please plan to arrive during that half hour.
The Board will also be holding its monthly meeting at 6 p.m. that evening. Members are welcome to attend.
