Summary

Description
English: Satellite picture of Hells Canyon National Recreation Area— in eastern Idaho and western Oregon.
  • The image shows the northern part of the canyon, where the Imnaha River joins the Snake River. (Both rivers flow north.)
  • The landscape is a mixture of green vegetation in gullies and along creeks and pale beige-gray, where the grasslands that dominate Hells Canyon have likely gone dormant in the heat and dryness of late summer. In places, the canyon walls are bare cliffs.
  • This natural-color image of Hells Canyon was captured by NASA’s Landsat-7 satellite on September 19, 2002.
Date acquired September 19, 2002
