Ryan, Dave and Jim getting ready to board the Snake Dancer.
We started off on this trip from Clarkston, WA. The Snake Dancer Jet boat tour was worth every minute we spent on the water. The Snake River is truly beautiful, we saw deer and big horn sheep and several hawks along the way.
Some of the rapids we went through.
The trip took us up the river into the canyon and over many rapids as shown above. Now it's getting very hot, the Captain stopped the boat several times and anyone who wanted to could go swimming. Some even jumped off the cliffs.
Here Ryan is trying out the waterfall called Cherry Creek, many of the rafters that use the river also use this spot to do their bathing. It's a perfect bowl that you sit in and just let the falls come down over you.

A good shot of the jet boat we took.
Ryan and Grandma under an apple orchard on one of the stops. It was a visitors center which educated one on the area, the volunteers there stay a month at a time, it was awsome. There are no roads after a certain point, the mail boat goes up on Wednesdays and returns on Thursday. It is very remote, however, since the river is so busy they get lots of company.
