These Hells Canyon Overlook views were taken in the Hells Canyon Recreation area in northeastern Oregon. Though more people are familiar with the Grand Canyon, Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America. He Devil Peak, on the East Rim, stands 8,043 feet above the Snake River, at the bottom of the gorge.
You can learn about this unique geological feature at the Hell’s Canyon Creek Visitor Center in Imnaha. When we visited in June a couple of years ago, the road to the center was still closed due to snow so check ahead of time.
Visitors seeking Hells Canyon views in the spring and early summer are rewarded by a wide variety of wildflowers in bloom at the scenic overlook. See Hells Canyon in the Spring for closer views of these beauties.

What a fantastic view that is!
Yes, I'm glad we made the long drive to get there. It was impressive!
Perfect. I am hoping to get over there this spring so these references will be helpful.
It's a nice part of the country that is not as heavily travelled as others. It was a peaceful spot. :)
Beautiful views. 😊
Yes, the views were great! Perfect weather too. 😁
Spectacular! Is there still wildlife roaming those hills and valleys?
