This image was taken in Hells Canyon approximately at China Bar Rapids. The River here provideda place large enough for a small farm. The Snake River as it flows through Hells Canyon has few roads to the River. At the deepest point it is the deepest canyon in the US, even deeper than the Grand Canyon. At its deepest point it is 7,900 ft (2,400 meters). There are few places that are large enough to have human habitation and yet there are people living there. It is one of a very few locations where the US mail is delivered by boat (jet boats at that).
