The United States Congress designated the Hells Canyon Wilderness in 1975 and it now has a total of 217,927 acres. Idaho contains approximately 83,811 acres. Oregon contains approximately 134,116 acres. It is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.
Hells Canyon Wilderness is a subset of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (HCNRA), which straddles the border of northeastern Oregon and western Idaho. Split into two distinct halves by the Wild & Scenic Snake River, approximately one-third of HCNRA is designated Wilderness. A small portion of the Wilderness in Oregon is managed by the BLM.
The Idaho side of the Wilderness is smaller than the Oregon side and encompasses the Seven Devils mountain range. The Wilderness stretches South from Pittsburg Landing for approximately 31 miles along the Snake River.
On the Oregon side, the higher elevation areas are characteristic of rocky slopes and grasslands laced with 'stringer canyons' and groves composed of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine. The lower elevations are dominated by grassland benches with steep canyons and ravines dissecting the isolated Oregon-side. Two National trails are found at various elevations: Western Rim/Summit Ridge Recreation Trail at the upper elevation, and Nez Perce Historic Trail near the Snake River. Species of interest are Rocky Mountain Elk, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and chukar.
Additional information about the Hells Canyon Wilderness, and all the other BLM Wilderness areas in Oregon/Washington, is available online at:
My father's trip to Europe, 1944-1945: Dad was in the 2nd Armored Division, he started at the big arrow in the channel and ended in Berlin. I had this poster on the wall in my room when I was young but it was lost. I was very glad to find this one online!

A warning sign to remind people to be vigilant against forest fires adds a twist to the ending. This sign is displayed at the Tillamook Forest Center in the Tillamook Forest, Oregon. Most of the center is dedicated to understanding the history and causes of the various burns that occurred in the 30s-50s and the reforestation effort that took place. It's a really wonderful exhibit.
Took this while on a tour of the Gordon River in Tasmania.

This area known as Bumpass Hell is the largest active geothermal feature with fumaroles, hot springs, acid and mud pots in Lassen Volcanic National Park. It is accessed by a 1.5 mile long trail (3 mile round trip) with a 500 foot rise followed by a 250 foot drop into the thermal area. It got its name from a pioneer Kendall Bumpass who discovered the site in the 1860s and brought a newspaper editor to see it and while there Kendall broke through the thin ground crust in the boiling mud/liquid below and burned his leg so badly it had to be amputed -- he later described this place as "hell".
Inside the ground, in the most deep caves where all is darkness and fire dwells the fearsome creature: The HELL TROLL, that eat Trolls Orcs, Goblins, Dragons and any other living creature. His breath melts the steel, its tail is like white hot steel whips, his skin is like a rock and his horns can reduced to ashes his enemies.

The northern entrance to Hells Canyon. There was a dirt road for some distance along the riverbank starting at Asotin on the Washington side of the Snake during the years that I lived in the Palouse. The river at this point is the state line between Washington and Idaho.
The native Americans who had lived in this area for thousands of years put up some bitter fights to keep the land but were almost all driven off to reservations or died of the white man's diseases. I was told by the NezPerce and Coeur d'Alene Indians that a few of the warriors from the various tribes banded together and took off into what is known today as the Sheepeater mountain range, on the Idaho side of Hells Canyon where they vowed to fight to the last warrior which they did. The official white man's version of the name's origin is different.
