The Grand Canyon may get all the newsprint, but Hells Canyon, which spans the Snake River from Idaho to Oregon and Washington, is deeper. In fact, it is America's deepest river gorge, with a maximum height above river level of 8,043 feet.
Hidden away in remote parts of Idaho, Oregon and Washington, the canyon isn't well known, except perhaps among river rafters. But its beauty and majesty are well worth a visit by anyone.
