Lost River, Idaho, is photographic
curiosity. The Idaho Statesman says
of il: The stream is larger than Wood
River, and flows with a good current
between firm and solid banks until it
reaches the lava plains, where it has
heretofore been thought to disappear in
the rock. This has, however, been
found to be an error, as the course of
the stream can be easily traced some
twenty miles farther, flowing through a
cleft in the lava, having changed the
course to the northeast, and at last
flowing close to the foothills, sinks in
an open sagebush plain. Some twenty
five miles beyond Arco, which is situated
in the lower part of the Lost River
Valley, is what is known as the Little
Lost River. This stream also ends its
course by being lost or sunk in tho
lower plain.
