Some of my fondest memories were made on the shores of the Salmon River in Montana and Idaho. I want my daughter to experience the wildness as it is now. She’s far too young to hit the sections filled with class III and class IV rapids, so for today we hit up the Little Spokane River that flows through our backyard. I hope the shores of the Salmon remain wild and free so that when she is old enough, she will experience the power, the beauty, and the wonder that live in that river.
