We awake on the west rim of Hells Canyon to an early sunrise, and start the drive to the bottom of the canyon along the river we spotted from above (Imnaha River). We then do a 60-mile out and back to the Snake River through the canyons to discover a couple of amazing camping locations along the way. After taking in lunch next to the river, we head south toward Oxbow, where we find a camping location at the end of a road. We stop at Scotty's Supply Store where the Sheriff and gentleman behind the counter inform us the Idaho side of the canyon is the place to see. They give us a map and directions to Sheep Rock. What an amazing drive, and the views were incredible. We then make for Bend Oregon, but we come up short having to camp at Ochoco Summit. However, this makes for the perfect break before checking out the mile wide volcanic mar called Hole in the Ground.
