Landform

The largest contiguous wilderness in the lower 48. The Middle Fork of the Salmon cuts a deep canyon through a roadless mountain sea.

Field note

The Middle Fork is a week of rapids and hot springs in a canyon with no road. The wilderness around it is bigger than some national parks stacked together. Frank Church made sure it stayed that way.
