Hells Canyon Seven Devils Mountains sound like something out of a Wild West legend, but trust us—they’re real. This rugged slice of Idaho and Oregon is home to North America’s deepest canyon and a jagged range with peaks so fierce they had to be named after devils. If you’re craving an outdoor experience that will leave your heart pounding, then it’s time to check out Snake River Hells Canyon and start planning your next big thing.
Hells Canyon and the Seven Devils Mountains
On one side, you’ve got Hells Canyon, a chasm deeper than the Grand Canyon. On the other, the Seven Devils Mountains stand tall and mighty, home to alpine lakes, sheer cliffs, and an array of wildlife.. The mix of rugged terrain and dramatic elevation changes make this a mecca for outdoor lovers.
Want to get up close and personal with this jaw-dropping wilderness? Whitewater rafting through Snake River Hells Canyon will get you right into the heart of it.
The Wild Side of the Seven Devils Mountains
The Seven Devils Mountains are untamed, rocky playground packed with jagged peaks like He Devil and She Devil—both towering over 9,000 feet. Tucked between are glacial lakes, dense forests, and wildlife ranging from curious mountain goats to stealthy black bears. If you ever wanted to truly disconnect and soak up some high-alpine isolation, this is the place.
Tackling the Trails
For those who like their adventure served with a side breathtaking views, the Seven Devils Loop Trail offers a stellar hiking experience. This 27-mile trek isn’t for the faint of heart, but the payoff? Sweeping vistas, crystal-clear lakes, and enough bragging rights to last a lifetime.
Prefer something shorter? Day hikes to He Devil Lake or Sheep Lake provide a taste of the rugged beauty without committing to a multi-day trek.
Whitewater Rafting in Hells Canyon
Rapids roar through the canyon, carving their way through ancient rock while bald eagles soar overhead.
For thrill-seekers looking to take things up a notch, the Hells Canyon Snake River Specialty Flying Fish 4-Day Rafting Trip offers some of the biggest whitewater around, put on in partnership with Flying Fish Company out of Portland, OR.
