Idaho - Sheep Creek

[yyakk7]

Sheep Creek; obscure among whitewater kayakers and even more obscure among hikers, forms a sheer walled rhyolite canyon over 600 feet deep. Stream erosion and weathering have carved cathedral like walls scattered with gothic pillars. The stream itself is not always what it seems. In summer, the creek is reduced to a dry channel with pools and in the spring it becomes a flowing river with many rapids.
