The Mighty Mississi…er…Snake River

On 12/21, my mother and I drove out to Dedication Point and Swan Falls Dam. Apparently, this canyon was carved by a combination of volcanic explosion, the resulting wall of water, and glacier activity. The dam itself was built in the 1901 as a hydroelectric plant. Both locations are contained in the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any really cool hunting birds but did get some really cool scenery.

The rest of them can be seen, as I’m sure you guessed, on Flickr.

This is the last of the photos from the trip to Idaho. I’ll be starting a project I’m VERY excited about in a few days and, though anyone that reads this probably already knows at least something about it, I’ll make another post about that soon.
