Part of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. North America`s 2nd deepest river gorge at 7,993 feet 2,436 m. Hell`s Canyon runs deeper than the the Grand Canyon. The Snake River flows more than one mile 1.6km below the canyon`s west rim on the Oregon side and 7,400 feet 2,300 m below the peaks of Idaho`s Seven Devils Mountains range to the east.
