South end of huge Parking Lot for Roadside Rest Area and a nice Sandy River Beach, Skookumchuck Recreation Site, Four Miles South Of White Bird, Salmon River Gorge, ID. This photo was taken in late afternoon, and for the most part I was in the shade of the Canyon Walls. You can imagine what the bright heat would have been like with the noon sun directly South, while beating straight down through perfectly clear desert dry air, into this parched un-vegetated gorge!
