The third deepest canyon in the United States and by far the least accessible, the Box is home to uncountable sieves, undercuts, and powerful cascades on the ..
The Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone begins its tumultuous descent from the Absarokee-Beartooth Wilderness just outside the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park. On the way to its confluence with the Yellowstone River near Laurel, Montana, the Clark’s Fork tumbles through a feral and remote section of Wyoming’s Shoshone National Forest, including 20.5 miles of federally protected Wild and Scenic River known as the Box Canyon. Supporting abundant wildlife and the highest concentration of grizzly bears in the lower 48, this rugged area has remained in pristine condition, thanks in part to the hard work of the many environmental groups who banded together in the mid-90s to stop the New World Mine project. (We are forever indebted…)
This video popped up after I started this post. Serendipity, for sure. It shows the canyon. I have to say it is a more impressive place than I thought.
The Clark’s on a massive scale? I never heard about the Indus River in Asia being such violent water before. It makes sense, though. Himalayan rivers have the scale to work with.
Can you help Stephen Bodio? We share a common friend who recently died -Doug Smith. How can I contact him.
Thank you. Robley Bates
