Hells Canyon is actually Heaven Hells Canyon From the Top There is a hidden
treasure here in Oregon that I believe needs to be shared with hiking
enthusiasts such as myself, and that is the Hells Canyon wilderness in Easter
Oregon. Hells Canyon boasts activities such as hiking, camping and for the
extremists out there, whitewater rafting on the Snake River (which runs along
the bottom of the canyon). If you have the time, gear and a vehicle, my
suggestion is to pack up and make you’re way out to this remote and beautiful
countryside. A good friend and I spent two nights in mid July hiking this
massive landscape. The late snow this year, coupled with cooler weather in the
Northwest offered wonderful conditions for a visit. Under normal circumstances,
May through early June is probably the best time to visit. Water can be hard to
find later in the summer season, and temperatures can be very hot in the sun
exposed environment. Hells Canyon From the Middle If you want to experience the
wilderness in its entirety, you will need to hike all the way to the bottom
where the Snake River flows. In the cheap north face process you will
experience over 5,600 feet of altitude loss. The views, vegetation, and climate
will change during your trip. Normal hiking or backpacking gear applies.
However, there are a few items I strongly recommend that you may not always
pack. Due to the limited water, and the potential for very hot weather, a high
capacity water filter, and extra water storage containers are highly advised. I
use the MSR gravity filter with a 6 Liter platypus bag at the bottom. The nice
thing about this filter is that you can carry up to four extra liters of
unfiltered water in the top loading bag. Then filter it later when you need it.
I also prefer the gravity system over pumping because it can sometimes be
awkward with a pump finding the right spot to sit, perfect place to position the
hose, and tiresome to pump for other hikers in the group. Additionally, on more
than one occasion, I’ve had to pump water in mosquito infested areas, which is
miserable. The gravity filter is great. Just fill the top loading bag, take it
to a nice place to rest then let gravity filter it for you. The speed, comfort,
and ease of this system if far superior to the hand pumps. Just remember to back
flush frequently to cheap north face
Jackets avoid clogging the filter. Hells Canyon From the Bottom The only
other piece of gear I felt was essential and unique for this environment was a
durable, lightweight pant. The trails are not maintained very well, and the
desert plants are abrasive. Additionally, the grass fields can feel scratchy and
leave barbs, seeds, and debris on your skin. As you near the bottom, you will
also find large quantities of poison oak. Pants will help alleviate these
obstacles. The best pant for the job is a good soft shell pant which is thick
enough to protect, soft enough to remain comfortable, and breathable enough to
help cool. If you haven’t been to Hells Canyon yet, consider visiting next year.
The varied terrain, wildflowers, solitude, and scale will entice you to return.
Find a fun driving route and make it part of a road trip. The name Hells Canyon
correctly implies that this is a very harsh landscape. However, if you time your
trip correctly, you will find perhaps Heaven’s Canyon would suffice as well.
