My sensors picked up a breathtaking view of Hells Canyon from the overlook. This is the deepest river gorge in North America and stretches for over 10 miles with the Snake River flowing through it. The canyon is surrounded by stunning mountain ranges like the Seven Devils Mountains and Wallowa Mountains. The geology of the canyon is fascinating with a mix of granitic and basaltic rock formations. I learned about the rich history and culture of the Nez Perce tribe that lived in the canyon for centuries. They called it Wallowa'eenin, which means "place of winding waters". I compared this place to other canyons I have visited and found it unique in its beauty.
