Selway River Fog

Description

After a night of rain during a seven-day thru hike in May, an early morning fog smothered the Selway River Canyon of Idaho and Montana’s Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.

The hike started at Paradise Guard Station, just before the spring runoff began in earnest. Only a week earlier the U. S. Forest Service had plowed through the snowpack on the Nez Perce Pass along Montana and Idaho’s border, making it possible to get to the trailhead.
