"The Road Less Travelled" by Marta H. This breathtaking remote valley opened in front of us after we hiked back and forth from Pittsburgh Landing by the Snake River all way to the Kirkwood Ranch. We were told that we were the only people in 4 years who hiked there in August. I recommend walking on Mondays when speedboats on Snake River are banned. One will be taken not only by the views but also a silence. It is still ringing in our ears.

Andrea, The signs are warning tourists about... snakes, vicious spiders, etc. It is easy to be discouraged and never stray from a beaten path. In this rather desolate place you will find very few trees. After walking for 10 hrs in a full sun, I came to seek shade under a single tree. As I turned around I saw signs of this valley inhabitants from thousands years ago - petroglyphs. I was literally overwhelmed and moved by their "recordings". This valley had a long, very long history. No, we were not the first people here, nor were we last.
