A vast mountain wilderness, cut by the mile deep Salmon River Canyon

—stretches across Idaho south and east of here —

Travel through the Salmon River Mountains always was hard in the early days.
An 1872 railroad survey showed the Salmon River Canyon to be too expensive a route to build.
Until a highway was finished down the White Bird Hill in 1921, only some pack trails and a difficult wagon road crossed the rugged mountain barrier that separated north and south Idaho.
