8. Maria takes a lunch break near the inlet of Hell Roaring Creek. Hell Roaring Lake is in the background. The lake is in the NRA Primative Area (no motor vehicles allowed) and is about 4 miles up the trail from the 4WD parking lot at the end of a long dirt road. The lake is on a loop trail that continues about 12 miles into the primative area and back out to Petit Lake. Photo by Bob DeVor.
9 . Another view of Hell Roaring Lake, so
named because the wind through the valley makes a loud roaring sound on windy
days. Photo by Doug Engle.
10. A few more miles up the trail, further into the primative area, you come upon Imogene Lake, one of the prettiest lakes in the area.

the western end of the Redfish Lake.
23 . At this Sunshine Hot Springs on the Salmon
River, a hot spring runs down from across the road into a series of shallow
pools. Bathers move the stones around until they get the perfect mix of cold
river water and very hot spring water.
