Salmon River Gorge
March 1983 Expedition
Potholes Area
 

      
Another view of the potholes
      stretch of the Salmon. In this section, the entire river flows
      through this ten-foot wide chasm. Judging by the size of the
      river as it enters this channel, we estimated its depth to be
      at least fifteen feet. The eddy at the lower portion of this
      photo shows one of the potholes, where a large rounded boulder
      continued to grind a circular path into the bedrock.
