More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a gravel bar and the creek immediately takes over: a clear, cold ribbon of spring water guiding you past cattails and low willows while the valley opens to sagebrush and distant basalt outcrops. Silver Creek moves with purpose but without hurry; riffles and glassy runs alternate, and birds use the current like a highway.
