On sunny days from about 9 am until 1 pm, the mist from powerful Upper Mesa Falls creates a beautiful rainbow. The falls flow over Mesa Falls Tuff, which formed 1.3 million years ago. A cycle of rhyolitic volcanism from the Henrys Fork caldera depositing a thick layer of rock and ash which compressed and hardened over time. Between 200,000 and 600,000 years ago, the river eroded a wide canyon which was subsequently partly filled with basalt lava flows. The Henrys Fork of the Snake River carved a channel through the basalt to create todays inner canyon.

  • The least chipmunk (Neotamias minimus) is the smallest and most widespread species of chipmunk in North America. Photographed in Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Idaho, USA. Chipmunks are small, striped squirrels, which are rodents in the family Sciuridae. All species of chipmunks are found in North America, except for the Siberian chipmunk of Asia. The least chipmunk lives across north-central and western United States and from British Columbia and southern Yukon to western Quebec in Canada, in habitats including mixed deciduous and coniferous forests, boreal forest, and sagebrush plains. They have three dark lines with white in between along their face and five black stripes with brown edges with white in between along their back. They are grey and reddish-brown on the sides and greyish white on their underparts. Their tail is orange-brown. These animals are active during the day and eat seeds, berries, nuts, fruits and insects. They breed in early spring. Females produce one litter usually of 5 or 6 young. They store food in an underground burrow, where they spend the winter. They go into a state of torpor for extended periods, but do not hibernate. Chipmunks have facial stripes, whereas golden-mantled ground squirrels lack facial stripes.

  • Crossing 9390-foot Snowyside Pass between Alice & Toxaway Lakes, in Sawtooth Wilderness, Blaine County, Idaho, USA. The blue water seen here is a pond in Farley Lake Creek, above Toxaway Lake which is hidden around the corner to the right. On October 6-7, 2020, starting from Tin Cup Trailhead, I hiked a clockwise loop 20 miles with an overnight stay at idyllic Twin Lakes. The first day to Twin Lakes was a moderate 7.4 miles with 2090 feet gain. The second day returned via Toxaway Lake and Farley Lake for 12.5 miles with 1260 feet up and 2940 feet down. For the most dramatic scenic build-up, I recommend backpacking 3 days counterclockwise staying at Toxaway Lake then Twin Lakes. (On a 2007 backpacking trip in August, we enjoyed staying 2 nights at Alice Lake and day-hiked to Toxaway.)
