The area offers overnight and day use opportunities. Hells Canyon Overlook offers a dramatic view of canyon country with open slopes and rolling hills visible across the canyon. The Overlook is 3 miles from the junction. If you continue past the Overlook the road turns to gravel which will afford you many more spectacular views of Hells Canyon, the Snake River and the Seven Devils on the Idaho side. On this 39 mile journey, you will pass a fish well where the State traps and holds salmon during the summer.
Facilities are pleasant and visitors always welcome.
Much of the area below the Pallette Ranch is private ranchland. Watch for well-marked public access signs along the river. Take a right turn at the Imnaha post office then go straight uphill on the gravel road. It has turnouts and is accessible to passenger cars. You will need to allow most of the day for the trip.
