Marsh Creek (tributary to the Middle Fork of the Salmon)

These are photos from a Marsh Creek flyover done on 4/19/2006.  The pictures start at the put in just off of the highway and the airplane is flying down the river left side of the canyon. Actually the first 3 or 4 pictures were taken as we were doing a turn to head down canyon so their orientation will look a bit off.  The pictures are basically in order but periodically I shot back upstream to catch a  problem spot from a different angle.  From the pictures you will notice one snow bridge across the canyon and I have also included several shots of "THE LOG".  These pictures show about 75% of the river.  A couple of times the river was underneath the plane and I did not get any photos.  The photos run all the way down to Sulpher Creek camp but most were from Hwy 21 - Dagger.  The photos at the end were taken of the Bear valley drainage above fir creek campground.  There is a lot of snow still to melt.  Check out the size of those cornices!  Hope you enjoy them.  If for any reason you need a high resolution copy of any of the pictures, e-mail me at raftin@aol.com and I can get one off to you.  Thanks to Larry Grimmett for the generous use of his piloting skills and his 182.  Without him and his plane this would have been a 5 day project.
