Steaming Hot Pano South Boundary Thermal Area. That's the confluence of the Snake and Lewis Rivers in the background. At this location, this is the Lewis National Scenic River and the Snake National Wild River, both p...

This quiet part of the #SouthBoundary #ThermalArea lies near the confluence of the #LewisRiver (left) and #SnakeRiver (right). Both are part of the Snake River Headwaters #NWSR.

It's only a mile from the trailhead, but you must ford the Snake.

Lewis River Trail The trail alternates between the riverside and the top of the ridge to the right.

Some #wild segments of the #SnakeRiver #Headwaters #NWSR in #Yellowstone are accessible to day hikers. This is the only one where you can #paddle #canoe #kayak.

If you're #hiking, #LewisRiver Channel is a ten-mile loop with #Dogshead Trail.

Final Ford of the Snake River This would be my last ford of the Snake River. I had just met a large boar grizzly on the other side; fortunately he decided to move downstream without crossing the river.

My final ford of the #SnakeRiver, a little after another #grizzly encounter. This was an easy ford in September.

Snake River Ford A panorama view of the Snake River Ford next to the Confluence campsite. With overnight temperatures around freezing, the water was warmer than the ambient air - a pleasant surprise!

Morning of Day 4 started with this ford of the #SnakeRiver in #Yellowstone. The water was too high for boots+gaiters but easy in sandals. The water was also warming that the ambient air.

360pano video of #SnakeRiver Headwaters above an unnamed canyon in #Yellowstone. Use your mouse to see fall colors upstream (to my left) and #MountSheridan downstream. This is a beautiful wild segment of the National Wild and Scenic River #NWSR.

Opening up - HSS! In the lower reaches of the unnamed canyon of the Snake River, both the canyon and the wider scenery open up. Sliding to strengthen the greens, enhance the blue sky, keep the colors of autumn grasses...

View of #MountSheridan and the #RedMountains from the unnamed canyon of the #SnakeRiver along the #SnakeRiverTrail in #Yellowstone. This is overlook about 20 mi (32 km) from nearest trailhead.

Eleven Point NWSR A view up the Eleven Point River, a National Wild and Scenic River in Missouri's Ozarks. Some argued for this stretch to be included in Ozark National Scenic Riverways, a national park established be...

The #OzarkTrail follows the #ElevenPoint National Wild and Scenic River #NWSR here. It's de facto #wilderness.

This is the only place where I have encountered a river otter on a trail. It skedaddled too fast for a photo.
