Located in the Hagerman Valley. With an elevation of 2,900 feet
and located in the Snake River Canyon, it is very protected and
referred to as the "Banana Belt" of Idaho! The canyon was
carved 18,000 years ago by the great Bonneville flood, a massive
volume of turbulent water that broke loose, creating an amazing and
unique geology. We will also visit "Thousand Springs," which
is quite literally a thousand springs and waterfalls draining from the
Snake River Aquifer out of 200 foot high, vertical canyon
wall...
