The embattled Lower Snake River dams are being accused of killing fish — by a pro-dam advocate! But the reason is not at all what you might expect.

Winters in #grandtetonnationalpark are not always snowy, all day every day. It was threatening, but hadn't started, yet. This is from the road to the #stockbridge along the #snakeriver. The #tetons and #jacksonhole never cease to amaze.

We floated with National Parks Float Trips out of Jackson WY. Started off rainy but blue sky's rolled in just in time. Breathtaking views of the Tetons from the water. #grandtetons

The #snakeriveroverlpok is one of the classic views in #grandtetonnationalpark- thanks to Ansel Adams. The view of the #tetons with the #snakeriver is one of the greatest views in any #nationalpark. Have you ever been there?

More scenes from the Lower Salmon and Snake: tawny grass, jagged stone, sparse trees, hazy air and a blessed ribbon of water were very much the themes of this summer float. This section of river al…

These “petrified watermelons” in the #SnakeRiver Plain in #Idaho are melon gravels—huge basalt boulders rounded and transported by the catastrophic #Bonneville #Flood ~17,400 years ago. A wonderful relic of one of the West’s great #IceAge megafloods. #Geology #BonnevilleFlood

Will #Idaho become home to 1/3 of US nuclear waste?
It would sit on an aquifer that feeds the #SnakeRiver & #ColumbiaRiver.
Lovely.

The Idaho National Laboratory can thrive without becoming a permanent nuclear waste repository • Idaho Capital Sun

With its stellar qualifications, INL does not have to be a meek supplicant, begging for transitory scraps from the federal table, writes Jim Jones.

Nothing like an early summer morning at #schwabacherslanding in #grandtetonnationalpark. The #tetons are a a great place for photos and this is one of the best. The #snakeriver meanders through #jacksonhole giving lots of locations for great pix of the river, the mountains and even reflections.

Confluence again
#landscapephotography #inlandnorthwest #snakeriver #salmonriver #hellscanyon #idaho #oregon #westernrivers

Photograph overlooking the confluence of two large rivers. The rivers from a Y shape of dark blue and green water in the lower half of the image. They are surrounded by steep slopes of tawny grass and dark rock outcrops. At the bottom of the image, a large green tree is partly silhouetted against the river water.

Confluence
#landscapephotography #idaho #oregon #snakeriver #salmonriver #hellscanyon #inlandnorthwest

Landscape photograph of river canyon scenery in warm, smoky light. A large river flows across the lower half of the scene, and another sizable river can bee seen joining it. Downstream of the confluence is a large cobble island. The canyon slopes are mostly bare and covered in yellow summer grass with many dark rock outcrops. A stone knoll with grass stalks is in the bottom foreground and the sky is pale, smoky blue with just hints of clouds.

A few pics from last night's #BookSigning at Rediscovered #Books in #Boise, plus a lovely visit to Celebration Park & its #petroglyphs. Heading to #SaltLakeCity today for Sunday's event; #BookTour dates/locales at TheEverydayNaturalist.com #nature #Idaho #Utah #SnakeRiver #author 🌿

A photo of three Caucasian women in casual clothing; the center one has her arms draped over the shoulders of the other two, and all three are smiling. They are standing in front of the Science and Nature shelves of a well-lit bookstore.

A wooden bookshelf with an array of books on stands, plus metal mugs with plants on them. Many of the books have mushroom themes, and the center book is The Everyday Naturalist by Rebecca Lexa.

A photo of a wide blue river lined with willows and other small trees in the foreground. On the far bank is a large hill covered in brown grass. The sky is blue overhead with white clouds accenting the color, and the sun shines brightly.

An etching carved into one of the rocks. It is a long, uneven line with four smaller lines growing off of it in two pairs, like a very simple outline of an animal with four legs, a head, and a tail.
